SO42- ions as a nucleophilic reagent: straightforward electrochemical access to organosulfates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Oct 10;59(81):12164-12167. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03960a.

Abstract

An electrooxidation direct difunctionalization of alkynes with sulfonyl hydrazides has been developed for the construction of sulfonyl alkenyl sulfates in the absence of metal catalysts and a stoichiometric amount of oxidants. Notably, it is the first example to verify that SO42- ions can act as a nucleophilic reagent for the preparation of organosulfates.
