Alkyldiarylsulfonium salts were synthesized by a combination of active sulfonium species, prepared through the activation of diarylsulfoxide, and alkyl nucleophiles. The isolated sulfonium salts were subjected to the allylation and cyclopropanation of the active methylene compounds and metal-free C(sp)-C(sp) couplings via oxyallyl cation intermediates under mild conditions. The series of reactions included an umpolung strategy for the coupling of alkyl nucleophiles and metal-free C-C bond formation using sulfonium salts.

π electron configuration plays a pivotal role in metal-free carbon catalysts, and its delocalization degree overwhelmingly dominates catalytic activity. However, precise and targeted regulation of inherent π electrons still remain challenging. Here, one chemical-bond-targeted physical clipping strategy is proposed and effectively adopted in the cutting-edge carbon material system of graphdiyne (GDY) as a concept-of-proof.
