Abstract

The upsurge of interest in the development of methodologies for the construction of sulfur-containing compounds via the use of expedient reagents has established sustainable tools in organic chemistry. This review focuses on sulfonylation reactions using inorganic sulfites (Na₂S₂O₅ or K₂S₂O₅) as the sulfur dioxide surrogates. Compared to the bis-adduct with DABCO, which is an excellent surrogate of gaseous SO₂, the use of sodium or potassium metabisulfites as SO₂ surrogates are equally efficient. The objective of the current review is to exemplify recent sulfonylation reactions using inorganic sulfites. For better understanding, the review is categorized according to the mode of reactions: transition-metal-catalyzed SO₂ insertion, metal-free SO₂ insertion, and visible-light-mediated SO₂ insertion. All the reactions in each of the sections are illustrated with selected examples with a pertinent explanation of the proposed mechanism.

1 Introduction

2 Outlines of the Reactions Involving SO₂ Insertion

2.1 Transition-Metal-Catalyzed SO₂ Insertion

2.2 Transition-Metal-Free SO₂ Insertion

2.3 Visible-Light-Mediated SO₂ Insertion

3 Conclusion and Outlook

Key words

DABCO·(SO₂)₂ - sodium or potassium metabisulfite - SO₂ surrogate - sulfonylation reaction - SO₂ insertion
