Abstract
Herein, we describe the successful development of an azido-fluorosulfonylation reaction of alkenes under photoredox catalysis, which could allow the installation of the two “clickable” groups, −N3 and −SO2F, on a C–C double bond, with TMSN3 as the azide source. The utilization of the difunctionalization products is also demonstrated in the construction of a library of 1,2,3-triazolesulfonyl fluoride compounds as well as drug molecule ligation by merging copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange (SuFEx), the two generations of click reactions. Mechanistic studies suggest a radical fluorosulfonylation/azidation mechanism and unveil FSO2N3 as a new and potential fluorosulfonyl radical precursor.
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.
