A novel iron-catalyzed efficient approach to construct sulfone-containing oxindoles, which play important roles in the structural library design and drug discovery, has been developed. The use of readily available benzenesulfinic acids, an inexpensive iron salt as the catalyst, and air as the oxidant makes this sulfur incorporation protocol very efficient and practical.
The first facile one‐pot synthesis of sulfone‐containing oxindoles with easily accessible disulfides as the sulfonylating precursors is described. This reaction occurs smoothly under transition metal‐free conditions and shows excellent functional group tolerance, allowing the facile and efficient green synthesis of various sulfone‐containing oxindoles in aqueous solution. Preliminary mechanistic studies
描述了第一个简便的单锅合成含砜的吲哚类化合物,其中二硫醚作为磺酰化的前体很容易获得。该反应在不含过渡金属的条件下可平稳进行,并具有出色的官能团耐受性,可在水溶液中轻松高效地绿色合成各种含砜的羟吲哚。初步的机理研究表明,水(H 2 O)和过硫酸钾(K 2 S 2 O 8)均可以是产物中砜基的氧源。
