Abstract
A visible light-driven, intermolecular interrupted Barton reaction has been developed for radical-relay sulfonyloximation of alkenes with alkyl nitrites, using DABSO as a trapping reagent. This method overcomes the challenges of competing normal Barton reactions and polarity mismatches by rapidly and irreversibly capturing alkyl radicals, preventing unwanted side reactions. The resulting polarity-reversed sulfonyl radicals undergo highly selective addition to alkenes, yielding α-alkylsulfonyl ketoximes tethered to hydroxyl or ketone groups. Conducted under mild visible light conditions, this approach eliminates the need for harsh mercury lamps, offering a scalable, chemoselective method for synthesizing valuable sulfonylated oxime derivatives.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
