An environmentally friendly and efficient electrochemical fluorosulfonylation of styrenes has been developed. With the use of sulfonylhydrazides and triethylamine trihydrofluoride, a diverse array of β-fluorosulfones could be readily obtained. This reaction features mild conditions and a broad substrate scope, which could also be conveniently extended to a gram-scale preparation.
Electrochemistry enabled selective vicinal fluorosulfenylation and fluorosulfoxidation of alkenes
Both sulfur and fluorine play important roles in organic synthesis, the life science, and materials science. The direct incorporation of these elements into organic scaffolds with precise control of the oxidation states of sulfur moieties is of great significance. Herein, we report the highly selective electrochemical vicinal fluorosulfenylation and fluorosulfoxidation reactions of alkenes, which were enabled by the unique ability of electrochemistry to dial in the potentials on demand. Preliminary mechanistic investigations revealed that the fluorosulfenylation reaction proceeded through a radical-polar crossover mechanism involving a key episulfonium ion intermediate. Subsequent electrochemical oxidation of fluorosulfides to fluorosulfoxides were readily achieved under a higher applied potential with the adventitious H2O in the reaction mixture.
Regioselective Transfer Hydrodeuteration of Alkenes with a Hydrogen Deuteride Surrogate Using B(C6F5)3 Catalysis
A regioselective hydrodeuteration of alkenes using monodeuterated cyclohexa-1,4-dienes as surrogates for hydrogen deuteride (HD) gas is reported. The metal-free process proceeds under B(C6F5)3 catalysis presumably by deuteride abstraction to form borodeuteride [DB(C6F5)3]a and highly Br?nsted-acidic Wheland intermediates. Low catalyst loadings (2.5 mol %) are used, and the reaction proceeds at room temperature.

Investigations on the Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi couplings with alkenyl phosphates: Application to the synthesis of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes
(Chemical Equation Presented) The development of versatile Suzuki-Miyaura and Negishi cross-couplings with nonactivated alkenyl phosphates and aromatic boronic acids or organozinc reagents was achieved in acceptable to good yields. A series of 1,1-disubst
