Potassium Persulfate Mediated Conjugation of β-Ketosulfones with TEMPO

Abstract

We report a simple route for the preparation of α-aminoxy-β-ketosulfones in high yields by a potassium persulfate mediated α-aminoxylation of β-ketosulfones with TEMPO in acetonitrile at room temperature for 12 hours.

Key words

ketosulfones - alkoxyamines - aminoxylation - potassium persulfate - TEMPO - quinoxalines

• 9 Alkoxyamines 4; General Procedure K₂S₂O₈ (2a, 300 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added to a solution of the appropriate β-keto sulfone 1 (1.0 mmol) and TEMPO analogue 3 (1.2 mmol) in MeCN (5 mL) at r.t., and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 12 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was diluted with H₂O (10 mL). The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 mL) and the organic layers were combined, washed with brine, dried, filtered, and concentrated to afford the crude product, which was purified by chromatography [silica gel, hexanes–EtOAc (10:1 to 6:1)] 2-(Methylsulfonyl)-1-phenyl-2-[(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxy]ethanone (4a) Colorless gum; yield: 282 mg (80%); ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 8.03 (d, J = 7.2 Hz, 2 H), 7.66 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.54 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 6.22 (s, 1 H), 3.11 (s, 3 H), 1.57 (br s, 6 H), 1.43 (br s, 2 H), 1.31 (br s, 4 H), 1.18 (br s, 3 H), 0.86 (br s, 3 H); ¹³C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 194.15, 136.34, 133.71 (2 C), 128.65 (2 C), 128.43 (2 C), 94.78, 61.70, 60.26, 40.46, 40.25, 37.16, 33.52, 32.57, 19.81, 16.25.
