Abstract:
Sulfonyl fluorides have attracted considerable and growing research interests from various disciplines, which raises a high demand for novel and effective methods to access this class of compounds. Radical flurosulfonylation is recently emerging as a promising approach for the synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides. However, the scope of applicable substrate and reaction types are severely restricted by limited known radical reagents. Here, we introduce a solid state, redox-active type of fluorosulfonyl radical reagents, 1-fluorosulfonyl 2-aryl benzoimidazolium triflate (FABI) salts, which enable the radical fluorosulfonylation of olefins under photoredox conditions. In comparison with the known radical precursor, gaseous FSO2Cl, FABI salts are bench-stable, easy to handle, affording high yields in the radical fluorosulfonylation of olefins with before challenging substrates. The advantage of FABIs is further demonstrated in the development of an alkoxyl-fluorosulfonyl difunctionalization reaction of olefins, which forges a facile access to useful beta-alkoxyl sulfonyl fluorides and related compounds, and would thus benefit the related study in the context of chemical biology and drug discovery in the future. Sulfonyl fluorides are compounds with potential application in chemical biology and drug discovery, but their preparation can be challenging. Here, the authors present a type of bench-stable fluorosulfonyl radical reagents that enable radical fluorosulfonylation reactions via photoredox catalysis.
