An additive‐free copper catalytic system was used to perform the addition of (hetero)aryl nucleophiles to N‐allenyl derivatives. This intermolecular C–C bond formation occurs with both complete regio‐ and stereoselectivity to afford the linear (E) allylic product with moderate to excellent yields. This atom economical method is the first example of hydroarylation of allenes catalyzed by copper.
A Brønsted acid-mediated addition of (hetero)aryl and (cyclo)alkyl sodium sulfinates to N-allenyl derivatives is described under very smooth conditions. This reaction provided a practical and efficient protocol for the synthesis of allylic sulfones in an atomand step-economic fashion. In addition, an one-step double hydrosulfonylation has also been demonstrated, affording the corresponding 1,3-disulfone in to good yield.
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.
