General description

Sulfoxonium ylides are highly stable carbene precursors, serving as a safer alternative to diazo compounds as they that do not generate gases as byproducts. Sulfoxonium ylides have been shown to be effective in a wide array of transition metal catalyzed C-H functionalization and coupling reactions.

Azolopyrimidines are efficiently prepared by direct imidoyl C-H bond activation. Annulations of N-azolo imines with sulfoxonium ylides and diazoketones under redox-neutral conditions and alkynes under oxidizing conditions provide products with various arrangements of nitrogen atoms and carbon substituents. We have

A general, mild, and versatile synthesis of the challenging α-aryl-β-ketosulfoxonium ylides has been developed for the first time, substituting traditional methods starting from diazo compounds. The arylation of easily accessible β-ketosulfoxonium ylides using aryne chemistry allowed the preparation of a

A ruthenium-catalysed cross-olefination of diazo compounds and sulfoxonium ylides is presented. Our reaction design exploits the intrinsic difference in reactivity of diazo compounds and sulfoxonium ylides as both carbene precursors and nucleophiles, which results in a highly selective reaction.

A Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization of a range of arenes by employing sulfoxonium ylides as carbene precursors instead of diazo compounds and other carbene precursors has been established. This reaction is highly efficient without any additive, possesses high step and

Rh(III)-catalyzed cascade C-H activation of benzoylacetonitriles and annulation with sulfoxonium ylides was realized, leading to selective synthesis of naphthols, 2,3-dihydronaphtho[1,8- bc]pyrans, and naphtho[1,8- bc]pyrans. This step-economic reaction proceeded efficiently under mild and redox-neutral conditions via multiple C-H activations.
