Abstract

An efficient iron-catalyzed arylsulfonylation of activated alkenes has been developed. The protocol uses readily available N-acryl-N-substituted benzenesulfonamides and arylsulfinic acids as the starting materials, inexpensive iron salt as the catalyst, and environmentally friendly oxygen in air as the oxidant. α-Aryl-β-sulfonyl amides containing a quarternary stereocenter were obtained using N-acryl-N-alkyl benzenesulfonamides as the substrates.
