Research progress on cross-coupling with aryl sulfonyl and sulfinate compounds

Abstract

Cross-coupling reactions of aryl sulfonyl and sulfinate compounds have been well developed as an efficient synthetic method in recent years. Aryl sulfonyl chlorides, arylsulfinates and arylsulfonyl hydrazides have been used as desulfitative arylation, arylsulfonylation and reductive aryl sulfidation reagents in the synthesis of biaryls, aryl sulfones and aryl sulfides. The research progress on cross-coupling with aryl sulfonyl and sulfinate compounds combined with our work is reviewed, focusing on applications and progress in new synthetic method to construct carbon-carbon, carbon-sulfonyl and carbon-sulfur bond.
