An interrupted Pummerer reaction of PhICl and sulfoxides was found to in situ generate reactive organosulfenyl chloride, which enabled the intramolecular electrophilic cyclization of 2-alkynylanilines, generating 3-sulfenylated indole with a good to excellent yield under metal-free conditions. One striking feature of the approach is that sulfoxide regeneration can be realized via the oxidation of the formed sulfides by the generated hypervalent iodine species.
发现PhICl与亚砜的间断Pummerer反应能原位生成活性有机亚磺酰氯,这使得2-炔基苯胺能够进行分子内亲电环化反应,在无金属条件下以良好至优异的产率生成3-亚磺酰化吲哚。该方法的一个显著特点是,通过生成的高价碘物种氧化生成的硫化物,可以实现亚砜的再生。
