Selective sulfonylation and oxosulfonylation of alkenes with sulfinates have been developed via anodic oxidation in an undivided cell. The novel electrosynthetic method provided β-keto sulfones and vinyl sulfones with good to excellent yields in the absence of any transition metal catalyst and oxidants. Mechanism studies show that two different pathways involved in these two transformations.

Background: β-ketosulfones are important bioactive compounds that have been extensively studied in organic chemistry. In this work, a green and efficient process for the synthesis of β-ketosulfones from alkenes (1) or alkynes (3) with sodium benzenesulfinate (2) was developed. Results: Under optimal conditions (alkenes (0.5 mmol) or alkynes (0.5 mmol), sodium benzenesulfinate (0.5 mmol), water (2 mL), hemoproteins (heme concentration: 0.06 mol%), GOX (42 U/ml), room temperature, 2 h), high yields of β-ketosulfones could be obtained when HgbRb (hemoglobin from rabbit blood) and GOX (glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger) was used as the catalyst. Conclusion: This enzymatic method demonstrates the great potential for the synthesis of β-ketosulfones and extends the application of dual protein systems in organic synthesis.

A series of optically active β-hydroxy sulfones has been obtained through an oxosulfonylation-stereoselective reduction sequence in aqueous medium. Firstly, β-keto sulfones were synthesized from arylacetylenes and sodium sulfinates to subsequently develop the carbonyl reduction in a highly selective fashion using alcohol dehydrogenases as biocatalysts. Optimization of the chemical oxosulfonylation reaction was investigated, finding inexpensive iron(III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3 ? 6H2O) as the catalyst of choice. The selection of isopropanol in the alcohol-water media resulted in high compatibility with the enzymatic process for enzyme cofactor recycling purposes, providing a straightforward access to both (R)- and (S)-β-hydroxy sulfones. The practical usefulness of this transformation was illustrated by describing the synthesis of a chiral intermediate of Apremilast. Interestingly, the development of a chemoenzymatic cascade approach avoided the isolation of β-keto sulfone intermediates, which allowed the preparation of chiral β-hydroxy sulfones in high conversion values (83–94 %) and excellent optical purities (94 to >99 % ee).
