Abstract
Herein, the one-pot tandem synthesis of β-ketoallylic methylsulfones has been achieved from readily available dimethyl sulfoxide and acetophenones as coupling partners in one step. In this procedure, dimethyl sulfoxide serves as a triple role including solvent, dual synthon and as an oxidant agent. The use of magnetic Ag–Cu MOF as a bimetallic catalyst is the key to the progress of the reaction due to its accessible active sites. It provides facile access to various β-ketoallylic methylsulfone derivatives from direct C(sp3)–H bond activation and functionalization of aromatic methyl ketones especially acetophenones with electron-rich and electron-poor groups. Moreover, the present work offers a synthetically powerful strategy to form products in good to excellent yields (74–96%) with the atom, step, and pot economics. It has also delivered a new chromane-4-one derivative from 2-hydroxy acetophenone with intramolecular Michael-addition of related β-ketoallyl methylsulfone product. In the final step, the electronic properties of some products have been predicted with the theoretical studies.
