Abstract
A radical relay strategy for the generation of 3-(methylsulfonyl)benzo[ b]thiophenes through a reaction of methyl(2-alkynylphenyl)sulfanes with sodium metabisulfite in the presence of a photocatalyst under visible light irradiation is developed. This photoinduced sulfonylation proceeds efficiently under mild conditions by using a catalytic amount of sodium methylsulfinate as an initiator. During the reaction process, the methyl radical generated in situ is the key intermediate, which undergoes a radical relay with the combination of sulfur dioxide to afford methylsulfonyl-containing compounds.
This study developed a novel strategy for efficiently synthesising 3-(methylsulfonyl)benzo[b]thiophenes from methyl(2-alkynylphenyl)sulfanes and sodium metabisulfite under visible light irradiation, using a
