The Three-Component Synthesis of 4-Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles via a Sequential Aerobic Copper-Catalyzed Sulfonylation and Dimroth Cyclization

4-Sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazole scaffolds possess promising bioactivities and applications as anion binders. However, these structures remain relatively unexplored and efficient synthetic procedures for their synthesis remain desirable. A practical room-temperature, aerobic copper-catalyzed three-component reaction of aromatic ketones, sodium sulfinates, and azides is reported. This procedure allows for facile access to 4-sulfonyl-1,5-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles in yields ranging from 34 to 89%. The reaction proceeds via a sequential aerobic copper(II)chloride-catalyzed oxidative sulfonylation and the Dimroth azide-enolate cycloaddition.
