Abstract

The Bi(OTf)3-promoted hydrosulfonylation of alkenes with sulfonyl hydrazides to produce branched sulfones is reported, in which various branched sulfones (>40 examples) have been prepared in moderate to good yields. The gram-scale reaction and synthesis of the experimental inhibitor precursor showed the potential application. A preliminary mechanistic study revealed that double-bond migration to form the α,β-conjugated alkene is crucial for this transformation.
