Synthesis of arylsulfonyl-quinones and arylsulfonyl-1,4-diols as FabH inhibitors: Pd-catalyzed direct C-sulfone formation by CS coupling of quinones with arylsulfonyl chloride
The Pd-catalyzed direct C-sulfone formation by C-S coupling of quinones with arylsulfonyl chloride has been developed. This methodology provides an effective, convenient method for the synthesis of aryl-sulfonyl-quinones and arylsulfonyl-1,4-diols, which are potent inhibitors of FabH. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Ir-catalyzed C–S coupling of quinones with sulfonyl chloride
AbstractA concise, efficient method to sulfonyl quinones and sulfonyl-1,4-diols through Ir-catalyzed C–S coupling of quinones with sulfonylchloride has been developed. Thus, this methodology proves its value as a versatile synthetic tool for a broad range of sulfonyl quinones, producing good to excellent yields. Graphical Abstract
