A simple, scalable method by Jurk & van Gemmeren @vangemmerenlab.bsky.social to convert secondary sulfonamides into sulfonyl fluorides using affordable #DAST ⚗️, yielding excellent results! These sulfonyl fluorides readily couple with amines to create diverse libraries.

Great job Edis and @sourjyamal.bsky.social! Their work on the synthesis of γ-Alkylidene Lactones has just been accepted for publication in the @rsc.org journal @chemicalscience.rsc.org
doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Table of contents graphic showing the reaction of an aliphatic carboxylic acid with a styrene to give a γ-vinylidene lactone via tripple C-H functionalization. The structure of the ligand used is given as well as bullet points showing the main strenghts of the report, such as a broad substrate scope.

Taken together with a subsequent reaction with amine the method enables the generation of a sulfonamide library from a sincle secondary sulfonamide and may prove highly useful in the variation of lead structures in medicinal chemistry.

Congratulations to Friedrich Jurk, whose manuscript "Mild and Efficient Synthesis of Sulfonyl Fluorides from Sulfonamides Enabled by Diethylaminosulfur Trifluoride" has been accepted for publication in Synlett. doi.org/10.1055/a-26...

A table of contents graphic showing the direct conversion of a generic secondary sulfonamide to the respective sulfonylfluoride and a subsequent diversification to varied sulfonamides. Highlights of the method are listed as bullet points: Aromatic and aliphatic sulfonamides; efficient diversification method; commercially available reagent; high functional group tolerance; operationally simple; scalable.

Five years after reporting the direct acyloxylation of carboxylic acids, we could now finally achieve the direct hydroxylation, just out in Org. Lett. Huge congratulations to @sourjyamal.bsky.social and Tianxiao Xu!

Direct Pd-Catalyzed β-C(sp3)–H Hydroxylation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids

β-Hydroxy carbonyl scaffolds are of paramount importance due to their presence in a variety of natural products and bioactive molecules. In this study, we present a direct palladium-catalyzed β-C(sp3)–H hydroxylation of aliphatic carboxylic acids. The reported method employs convenient and readily available TBHP as an oxidant and provides an efficient, one-step route to a diverse range of β-hydroxy acids. Key aspects include the compatibility of this method with challenging α-non-quaternary carboxylic acids as substrates and excellent functional group tolerance. This newly developed method is expected to prove useful for generating compound libraries relevant to multiple disciplines.
