Expedient C-H allylation of sulfoxonium ylides: merging C-H and C-C/C-het bond activation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Nov 28;59(95):14173-14176. doi: 10.1039/d3cc04507b.

Abstract

Sulfoxonium ylide chelation-assisted C-H allylation of arenes has been accomplished utilizing strained vinyl carbo/heterocycles as the allyl surrogates via sequential C-H and C-C/het bond activation. Broad substrate scope, Co-catalysis, selectivity, and late-stage drug mutation are the important practical features.
