Synthesis of Aromatic Sulfones from SO2 and Organosilanes Under Metal-free Conditions

Synthesis of Aromatic Sulfones from SO2 and Organosilanes Under Metal-free Conditions
Niklas von Wolff, Joëlle Char, Thibault Cantat, Xavier Frogneux
The conversion of SO2 into arylsulfones under metal-free conditions was achieved for the first time by reacting SO2 with (hetero)arylsilanes and alkylhalides in the presence of a fluoride source. The mechanism of this transformation was elucidated based on DFT calculations, which highlight the influence of SO2 in promoting C−Si bond cleavage.
