The direct conversion of thiols into sulfones following the tandem introduction of C I and C S bonds is achieved using SeO2 as an oxidizing agent. The method is viable with a wide range of alkynes and thiols at room temperature, employs mild conditions, and has good yields. Besides, we could also use β-iodovinyl sulfones as the starting material to access different β-functionalized sulfone derivatives. Introduction compounds.[7] Owing to the importance of β-iodovinyl sulfones, many methods over the years have appeared to generate these moieties employing a variety of synthetic protocols. Their synthesis generally involves electrophilic halogenations of vinylsulfones,[8] Knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with sodium sulfinates,[9] halosulfonylation using sulfonyl halides,[10] and oxidation of the corresponding vinyl sulfides.[11] Among the various strategies employed, the most logical and straightforward approach corresponds to sulfonative functionalization of alkynes, the addition of sulfonyl, and other groups across a triple bond. In one such contribution, Nakamura and co-workers[12] explored the reactivity of alkynes with sulfonyl halides in the presence of ligand and metal catalyst leading to the generation of β-iodovinyl sulfones. In another work for the synthesis of β-iodovinyl sulfones direct difunctionalization of alkynes with sulfinic acid in the presence of molecular iodine was reported.[13] So far, most of the efforts developed introduce sulfone moiety using various sulfonyl reagents primarily as precursors. Thus, it becomes even more challenging where we may wish to install sulfone group without using any sulfonyl precursor, viz., utilizing thiols directly. To the best of our knowledge, the only report for the synthesis of β-iodovinyl sulfones using thiols has been reported via coupling with alkynes utilizing iodine as halogenating source under reflux conditions.[14] Intriguingly, we could not come across any report that enables the synthesis of β-iodovinyl sulfones at room temperatures. Thus, a mild and efficient approach employing readily available starting materials for the synthesis of βiodovinyl sulfone is highly desirable. Thus, in continuation of our interests,[15] herein, we disclose a first photoredox catalyzed approach for the synthesis of (E)-βiodovinyl sulfones using readily available alkynes and thiols as coupling partners at room temperature (Scheme 1). The method showcases the tandem introduction of C I and C S bond using TBAI as iodine source followed by oxidation of sulfide to sulfone with selenium dioxide. It would be pertinent to mention that the simultaneous introduction of a C I and C S bond is challenging due to the instability of sulfonyl vinyl- Unarguably, the development of new transformations employing readily available and cheaper starting materials represents an essential aspect of synthetic organic chemistry. The advent of photoredox catalysis has further broadened the scope of more straightforward starting materials by using unique single electron transfer (SET) routes to design and develop novel chemical processes.[1] Of particular intrigue is radical-induced vicinal difunctionalization of alkynes as they provide an efficient platform for synthesizing substituted alkenes, interacting with both carbon and heteroatom-containing radicals with good stereoselectivity.[2] Among the various classes of functionalized alkenes, the synthesis of β-halovinyl sulfones has drawn considerable attention of the chemists as they find pervasive presence in biologically important molecules and serve as fundamental building blocks in the construction of an array of synthetic frameworks.[3] For example, cysteine protease inhibitor,[4] covalent protease inhibitors,[5] HIV-1 inhibitors,[6] inhibitors of a transpeptidase, which are required in Staphylococcus aureus for cell wall protein anchoring and virulence, have all been identified as vinyl sulfone-containing [a] S.

Synthesis of (E)-β-iodovinyl sulfones. iodide. The central feature of the present method is its selectivity/general applicability to a wide array of substituted alkynes and thiols with good yields. Also, β-iodovinyl sulfones were found amenable to late-stage functionalization reactions such as copper-catalyzed functionalization of N-methylimidazole, oxidation to α-tosyl phenylacetone,[16] and arylation by Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with phenylboronic acid.[3a] Results and Discussion Initially, phenylacetylene 1 was chosen as a model substrate for the reaction with thiophenol 2 to determine the optimal reaction conditions. Pleasingly, the reaction on irradiation under blue LEDs in the presence of TBAI and SeO2 with Ru(bpy)3Cl2 as photocatalyst using MeCN as solvent led to the synthesis of desired (E)-β-iodovinyl sulfones 3 in 92 % yield (Table 1, entry 1). We next examined the effect of various photocatalysts on the reaction yields; the use of Mes-Acr + ClO4 lowered the reaction yield to 35 % (Table 1, entry 2). A further drop in reaction yields was observed in the presence of eosin-Y and Rose Bengal as photocatalyst (Table 1, entries 3–4). Other oxidants (Table 1, entry 5) examined for the reaction gave traces of product. The change of iodine source to NIS from TBAI was not as efficient and afforded only 17 % yields of the desired product (Table 1, entry 6). Both photocatalyst and light were found to be critical for our reaction as no product was obtained in their absence (Table 1, entry 7).

With optimized conditions in hand, we initially explored the scope of the sulfonylation process with different alkynes (Scheme 2). As expected, a range of alkyl-substituted phenylacetylenes (3-methyl, 4-methyl, 4-ethyl, 4-n-propyl, 4-tert-butyl, and 2,4,5-trimethyl) participated in the reaction with thiophenol under optimized conditions to give corresponding βiodovinyl sulfones 4–9 in 81–88 % yields.

The substrates bearing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups on benzene rings such as (2-trifluoromethyl, 4ChemPhotoChem 2022, 6, e202200110 (3 of 7) trifluoromethyl, 3-methoxy, 4-methoxy, and 4-phenoxy) phenylacetylenes were found to be compatible with our reaction to afford products 18–22 in good yields. The scope of the reaction was also extended to 2-ethynyl-6-methoxynaphthalene and 9ethynylphenanthrene to generate the corresponding product © 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH 23670932, 2022, 10, Downloaded from https://chemistry-europe.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cptc.202200110 by National Yang Ming Chiao Tung Unive, Wiley Online Library on [23/08/2023].

Gratifyingly, aliphatic alkynes such as cyclopropyl acetylene and 1-ethynyl-1-cyclohexene were also found to be feasible to participate in the reaction to give products 25 and 26 in comparatively lower yields.In addition, the heterocyclic 2-ethynylthiophene was also varied to generate corresponding product 27 in excellent yield. Next, the feasibility of the protocol was examined with a series of thiophenols to broaden the substrate scope. The reaction of phenylacetylene proceeded smoothly with alkylsubstituted (2-methyl, 3-methyl, 4-methyl, 2-ethyl, 4-tert-butyl 2,4-dimethyl, 2,5-dimethyl, 3,5-dimethyl) thiols to furnish the corresponding products 28–35 in excellent yields. The 4methoxythiophenol was also found to give the product 36 in 80 % yields. The halo substituted (4-fluoro, 4-chloro, 2-bromo, 3-bromo, 4-bromo, and 2,6-dichloro) thiophenols produced βiodovinylsulfones 37–42 in up to 82 % yields. The thiophenol bearing electron-withdrawing 4-trifluoromethyl group was also compatible with this reaction to give product 43 in 60 % yields. Based on single electron transfer (SET) reactivity patterns observed by our group[15b,d] and literature precedence,[17] control experiments to support the proposed reaction mechanism were carried out. The relative propensities of reaction ingredients towards SET reaction with [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 photocatalyst were explored through fluorescence quenching and absorption kinetics experiments (Scheme 3A). The corresponding Stern Volmer plots depict reactant quenching in the order thiophenol PSH > TBAI > PA. The highest observed quenching rate in the case of thiophenol corroborates with the first step of the SET reaction involving reductive quenching of blue LED excited photocatalyst by thiophenol. To support the second step of proposed SET based reaction mechanism involving reaction of thiyl radical and phenylacetylene, inferences from the experiment involving quenching studies of the ternary system (photocatalyst, PSH, and PA) were made. The quenching of photocatalyst by PSH had a significant synergistic effect upon PA addition which can be explained by its effect of Scheme 3. Photoredox studies.

Plausible mechanism. removing thiyl radical and thereby generating positive feedback on PSH quenching of photocatalyst. The radical nature of the reaction was evidenced by the complete inhibition of the reaction in the presence of TEMPO as a radical scavenger (see supporting information). The absorption kinetic studies of reactants with [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 catalyst indicated pseudo first-order kinetics for its absorptive degradation under rate constants in the order PSH > TBAI > PA (Scheme 3B). Thus, from the control experiments data, it can be predicted that the blue LED excited [Ru(bpy)3Cl2]* undergoes reductive quenching with thiophenol (PC1) to give thiyl radical cation I that deprotonates in presence of a peroxy radical anion to give thiyl radical II (Scheme 4).[18] The catalytic loop gets completed by the regeneration of ground state photocatalyst with molecular oxygen.[19] This SET reaction continues with the addition of thiyl radical to the phenylacetylene to generate vinyl sulfide radical adduct III. In another parallel catalytic cycle (PC2), iodide anion sourced from TBAI reductively quenches the photo excited [Ru(bpy)3Cl2]* photocatalyst to ground state Ru +, thereby generating iodine radical.[20] The iodine radical so formed undergoes radical-radical coupling reaction with vinyl sulfide radical to produce β-iodovinyl sulfide intermediate IV. The β-iodovinyl sulfide IV on oxidation in the presence of selenium dioxide[22] affords (E)-β-iodovinyl sulfones. The selective formation of E-isomer can be attributed to the equal abundance of the vinyl radical E-form III and Z-form IIIa. However, to avoid steric repulsion from the sulfenyl group, the iodine radical preferably reacts with vinyl radical IIIa, leading to the exclusive formation of E-isomer.[11c,21] The relative efficacy of studied photocatalyst for this synthetic methodology (Table 1, entries 2–4) under optimized reaction conditions can be attributed to their differing thermodynamic feasibilities (suitability of their redox potentials with the reaction ingredients), corroboration of reaction and excited-state lifetime and absorption wavelengths.[23] To further demonstrate the synthetic utility of the protocol, we undertook a series of reactions using 3 as the starting material for further functionalizations (Scheme 5). The copper-catalyzed substitution of iodo-group in 3 by N-methyl imidazole gave product 44 in 84 % yields. In another copper-catalyzed reaction of 3, αtosyl phenylacetone 45 was obtained in 78 % yields. Furthermore, arylation of 3 by Suzuki–Miyaura coupling with phenylboronic acid produced 46 in 80 % yields. Scheme 5. Synthetic transformations of (E)-β-iodovinyl sulfone (3).

The method presents a tandem introduction of C S and C I bonds to the triple bond of alkyne followed by the oxidation of sulfide to sulfone in the presence of selenium dioxide. The present methodology is rather attractive due to the mild reaction conditions, easy setup, readily available starting materials, and broad substrate scope with good functional group tolerance. Furthermore, the β-iodovinyl sulfones served as good substrates for late-stage modifications to give different 1,2-difunctionalized sulfonylated alkenes. The further applicability and reactivity patterns of the protocol are currently under investigation in our laboratory. The authors declare no conflict of interest. Experimental Section General Information All reactions were carried out in oven-dried glassware. The solvents used were purified by distillation. All reactions were irradiated under blue LEDs. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on FTNMR 500 and 400 MHz instruments. Chemical data for protons are reported in parts per million (ppm) downfield from tetramethylsilane and are referenced to the residual proton in the NMR solvent (CDCl3, 7.26 ppm). Carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (13C NMR) were recorded at 125 MHz or 100 MHz. Chemical data for carbons are reported in parts per million (ppm, δ scale) downfield from tetramethylsilane and are referenced to the carbon resonance of the solvent. Coupling constants (J) are quoted in Hz. Mass spectra were obtained by using Q-TOF-LC/MS spectrometer using electron spray ionization. General Synthetic Procedures: Synthesis of β-iodovinylsulfones To the oven-dried 5 mL glass vial was added phenylacetylene (100 mg, 1 mmol) in MeCN followed by addition of Ru(bpy)3Cl2 (7.33 mg, 1 mol %), thiophenol (108 mg, 1 mmol), TBAI (362 mg, 1 mmol) and SeO2 (109 mg, 1 mmol) with continuous stirring. The reaction mixture was then irradiated under blue LEDs. After the completion of the reaction, as monitored by TLC, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous layers were then again extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under vacuum. The crude mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography using (hexane/ethyl acetate = 98 : 2) as a solvent system to obtain pure product 3 as white solid (340 mg, 92 %).
