Reported here is the CO2-facilitated radical sequential (3+ 2) annulation of 1, 6-enynes that
proceeds under the concerted catalysis of sulfinate and a photocatalyst (PC) to construct …

A visible-light-triggered radical cascade sulfonylation/aryl migration/desulfonylation and C–
S/Se bond formation reaction of butenyl benzothiazole sulfone with thiosulfonates or …

Alkenylpyridines are important pharmaceutical cores as well as versatile building blocks in
organic synthesis. Heck reaction represents one of the most powerful platform for the …

Herein, we report a novel strategy for the activation of DMSO to act as a versatile alkylating
agent in heteroarene C− H functionalization. This direct, simple, and mild switch between …

An unprecedented base-promoted direct olefination of aryl alcohols with sulfones via a Julia-
type reaction has been described. No extra reductants are needed for Julia reaction since …

Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing biaryl
compounds. However, classic Suzuki–Miyaura coupling suffers from hour-scale reaction …

We developed a Ru (II)-catalyzed redox-neutral C–H olefination of N-methoxybenzamides
with vinyl sulfones. The reaction is operationally simple and conducted at ambient …

A simple and efficient method for converting methyl sulfones to sulfinic acids is described.
The process involves alkylation with a benzylic halide, followed by in situ elimination of the …

The use of Me3SiO–/Bu4N+ as a general activator of organotrimethylsilanes for addition
reactions has been established. The broad scope of the method offers trimethylsilanes …

A series of novel, potent, and selective human β2 adrenoceptor agonists incorporating a
sulfone moiety on the terminal right-hand-side phenyl ring of (R)-salmeterol is presented …
