Abstract Sulfur dioxide has a rich and varied chemistry that can be traced back to the early 1900s. Despite potential utility of sulfur based reactions, delivering products such as sulfones, sulfonamides sulfinic acids, number examples these reactions being exploited in synthesis is arguably lower than would expected. One significant contributing factor this undoubtedly toxic gaseous nature SO 2 . strategy overcome limitation employ an equivalent, or surrogate, so reagent no longer needed....
The palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling of aryl iodides, sulfur dioxide, and hydrazines to deliver N-aminosulfonamides is described. colorless crystalline solid DABCO·(SO(2))(2) was used as a convenient source dioxide. reaction tolerates significant variation both the iodide hydrazine partners.
The charge-transfer complex generated from the combination of DABCO and sulfur dioxide, DABSO, is a bench-stable colorless solid suitable for use in organic synthesis as replacement gaseous dioxide. can be combined with Grignard reagents to form sulfinates, which then converted situ series sulfonamides. Alternatively, reaction anilines iodine leads formation sulfamides. Cheletropic addition between DABSO 2,3-dimethylbutadiene provides corresponding sulfolene.
SO(2) efficient: A three-component palladium-catalyzed coupling of aryl lithium compounds; sulfur dioxide (provided by the easy-to-handle solid surrogate, DABSO); and aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl (pseudo)halides yields a diverse library sulfones. An electron-poor XantPhos-type ligand suppresses aryl–aryl exchange is key to obtaining high yields.
Abstract A redox‐neutral palladium(II)‐catalyzed conversion of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenyl boronic acids into sulfinate intermediates, onwards to sulfones sulfonamides, has been realized. simple Pd(OAc) 2 catalyst, in combination with the sulfur dioxide surrogate 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(sulfur dioxide) (DABSO), is sufficient achieve rapid high‐yielding corresponding sulfinates. Addition C‐ or N‐based electrophiles then allows respectively, a one‐pot, two‐step process.
Sulfonyl-derived functional groups populate a broad range of useful molecules and materials, despite variety preparative methods being available, processes which introduce the most basic sulfonyl building block, sulfur dioxide, using catalytic methods, are rare.

A mild, efficient synthesis of sulfonyl fluorides from aryl and heteroaryl bromides utilizing palladium catalysis is described.
First introduced into medicines in the 1930s, sulfonamide functional group continues to be present a wide range of contemporary pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Despite their popularity design modern bioactive molecules, underpinning methods for synthesis are essentially unchanged since introduction, rely on use starting materials with preinstalled sulfur-functionality. Herein we report direct single-step sulfonamides that combines two largest monomer sets available discovery chemistry,...

The addition of Grignard reagents or organolithium to the SO2-surrogate DABSO generates a diverse set metal sulfinates, suitable for direct conversion sulfone products. sulfinates can be trapped in situ with wide range C-electrophiles, including alkyl, allyl, and benzyl halides, epoxides, (hetero)aryliodoniums.
A single tandem operation allows rapid access to a variety of substituted N-functionalized indoles. The nitrogen atom the indole nucleus is incorporated through Pd-catalyzed aryl and alkenyl CN bond-forming reactions (see scheme; dba=dibenzylideneacetone). Amine, aniline, amide, carbamate, sulfonamide functional groups can be introduced efficiently.
5-Iodouracil-substituted RNA and DNA were crosslinked regiospecifically to associated proteins in yields of 70 94% bound nucleic acid. Irradiation the iodouracil chromophore with monochromatic, long-wavelength ultraviolet radiation (325 nanometers) eliminates excitation other acid protein chromophores. The combination high crosslinking yields, excellent specificity, elimination photodamage chromophores represents an important advance toward precise identification contacts nucleoprotein complexes.
Back to basics: Ligand design has allowed two longstanding limitations of Pd-catalyzed CN and CO coupling reactions be overcome. The use specific sterically demanding electron-rich phosphine ligands makes it possible for ammonia potassium hydroxide act as partners in palladium-catalyzed with aryl halides. last decade seen the bond-forming cross-coupling halides emerge tremendously powerful synthetic tools.1 Both processes have reached a level sophistication that allows wide range combined...
