A visible-light-induced trifluoromethylsulfonylation reaction of diazo compounds is herein reported. This developed synthetic method captures the relatively rare trifluoromethyl sulfone radicals via coordination to the Mn(acac) catalyst, delivering the corresponding α-trifluoromethyl sulfone esters in good to moderate yields (up to 82%). This protocol exhibits broad substrate scope and is easily carried out under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, a plausible mechanism of the reaction was investigated through DFT calculations.
本文报道了一种可见光诱导的重氮化合物三氟甲基磺酰化反应。这种新开发的合成方法通过与Mn(acac)催化剂配位捕获相对罕见的三氟甲基砜自由基,以良好至中等的产率(高达82%)得到相应的α-三氟甲基砜酯。该方法具有广泛的底物范围,并且在温和的反应条件下易于进行。此外,通过密度泛函理论(DFT)计算研究了该反应可能的机理。
