1,2-Arylsulfonylation of Vinyl Ethers and Esters Enabled by Dual Ni Catalysis

Abstract

A dual photocatalytic sulfonylation-arylation of electron-rich alkenes is described. By combining sulfinate salts, (hetero)-aryl-bromides and 2,3-dihydrofuran under Ru and Ni dual catalysis, over 35 examples of aryl-sulfonylated scaffolds could be obtained in good to excellent yields, under mild reaction conditions and high diastereoselectivity.
