A versatile and general zinc‐mediated intermolecular reductive radical fluoroalkylsulfination of unsaturated C−C bonds has been developed using readily available fluoroalkyl bromides and 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane‐bis(sulfur dioxide) adduct (DABSO) with wide substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance. Sulfur dioxide anion radical generated in situ from the reduction of sulfur dioxide with zinc may be involved in the reaction mechanism.
Reaction of unactivated alkenes affords various fluoroalkyl-containing alkyl sulfonyl fluorides with good functional group tolerance under mild conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
