Introduction of N,N’-disulfonylhydrazines as new sulfonylating reagents for highly efficient synthesis of(E)-β-iodovinyl arenesulfones under mild conditions

N,N’-Disulfonylhydrazines have been proven to be the most reactive precursors of the sulfonyl radicals among all types of sulfonyl substituted hydrazines as early as half a century ago.However,the sulfonyl radicals generated from these compounds have not been used in organic synthesis except the simple selfdimerization synthesis of disulfones controlled by the"solvent-cage-effects".In this article,N,N’-disulfonylhydrazines were introduced as new sulfonylating reagents and their combinations with NIS were disclosed as new iodosulfonylating reagents of allcynes.Finally,a highly efficient method for the synthesis of(E)-β-iodovinyl arenesulfones was developed by mixing an alkyne,a N,N’-disulfonylhydrazine and NIS in aqueous THF at room temperature for 5 min.
