Electrosynthesis of (E)-Vinyl Sulfones Directly from Cinnamic Acids and Sodium Sulfinates via Decarboxylative Sulfono Functionalization

摘要

A variety of (E)-vinyl sulfones were constructed directly from cinnamic acids and sodium sulfinates with high regioselectivity at room temperature by virtue of an electrocatalytic oxidation. A radical intermediate was detected, and the corresponding mechanism was investigated.
