Electrochemical fluorosulfonylation of styrenes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Nov 2;57(87):11481-11484. doi: 10.1039/d1cc04813a.

Abstract

An environmentally friendly and efficient electrochemical fluorosulfonylation of styrenes has been developed. With the use of sulfonylhydrazides and triethylamine trihydrofluoride, a diverse array of β-fluorosulfones could be readily obtained. This reaction features mild conditions and a broad substrate scope, which could also be conveniently extended to a gram-scale preparation.
