One-pot Synthesis of β-Ketosulfones from Sulfonyl Chloride, Hydrazine Hydrate and Vinyl Azide in Water

Abstract A novel, facile and efficient strategy for the one-pot synthesis of β-ketosulfones from readily available sulfonyl chloride, hydrazine hydrate and vinyl azides is described. The reaction proceeded very smoothly affording diverse β-ketosulfones in moderate to good yields. This new procedure has the advantages of environmental benign, easy and simple operation, low cost and wide tolerance of functional groups, which provides a highly fascinating protocol to access β-ketosulfones.
