Copper-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Sulfonylation of Alkynyl Imines with Sulfonyl Hydrazides: Access to (E)-β-Sulfonyl Enones. 2022
A copper-catalyzed sulfonylation of alkynyl imines with sulfonyl hydrazides has been developed, which exhibited excellent regio- and stereoselectivity and furnished a series of (E)-β-sulfonyl enones in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies suggest that this strategy goes through a radical process.
