Photoredox-Catalyzed Sulfonylation of<i>O</i>-Acyl Oximes via Iminyl Radicals with the Insertion of Sulfur Dioxide

Abstract

A multicomponent sulfonylation of O-acyl oximes via iminyl radicals with the insertion of sulfur dioxide under photoredox catalysis is achieved. This multicomponent reaction of O-acyl oximes, potassium metabisulfite, alkenes, and nucleophiles under visible-light irradiation is efficient, giving rise to a range of sulfones in moderate to good yields. A broad reaction scope is presented with good functional group compatibility.
