Cathodic Cleavage of ortho-Alkyl Substituted Alkyl Aryl Sulfones.

Preparation of Alkyl Alkynyl Sulfones and Cyclic Vinyl Sulfones from Alkynyl(aryl)iodonium Salts.

The reaction of alkyl sulfinates with alkynyl(aryl)iodonium salts provides a facile access into otherwise difficult to obtain alkyl alkynyl sulfones and cyclic vinyl sulfones via 1,2-rearrangement or 1,5-CH insertion, respectively. In benzyl sulfinates, 1,5-CH insertion is not possible, so addition to the aromatic ring occurs, followed by ring expansion to generate novel bicyclic sulfones.

Synthesis of Alkyl Aryl Sulfones via Reaction of N-Arylsulfonyl Hydroxyamines with Electron-Deficient Alkenes.

Alkyl aryl sulfones were prepared in high yields via the reaction of N-arylsulfonyl hydroxylamines with electron-deficient alkenes. These reactions have the advantages of simplicity, easily available starting materials and mild reaction conditions.

Short and Efficient Synthesis of Alkyl- and Aryl-Ortho-Hydroxy-Anilides and their Antibiotic Activity

Ortho-hydroxy-anilides are part of natural products like the new antibiotics platencin (A) and platensimycin (B). An important step in the total synthesis of these antibiotics or their derivatives is the preparation of the o-hydroxy-anilide partial structure. The presented method allows the preparation of o-hydroxy-anilides and o-dihydroxy-anilides from 2-nitrophenol esters in a one-step synthe...

Radioiodination of Aryl-Alkyl Cyclic Sulfates

Among the currently available positron emitters suitable for Positron Emission Tomography (PET), (124)I has the longest physical half-life (4.2 days). The long half-life and well-investigated behavior of iodine in vivo makes (124)I very attractive for pharmacological studies. In this communication, we describe a simple yet effective method for the synthesis of novel (124)I labeled compounds int...
