Abstract

A facile and regioselective procedure for the preparation of β-keto sulfones has been developed through a simple reaction of aryl acetylenes and sodium arenesulfinates in nitroethane as a solvent at 50 ˚C. The procedure is catalyst- and additive-free and shows a wide range of functional-group tolerance. In this system the formation of new C-O and C-S bonds occurs in a one-pot procedure.

Key words

β-keto sulfone - aryl acetylene - sodium arene sulfinates - vinyl nitronic ester - sulfone - sulfinates salt
