The exceptional versatility of sulfones has been extensively exploited in organic synthesis
across several decades. Since the first demonstration in 2005 that sulfones can participate …

At present, alcohols are considered sustainable starting materials that can be used in
organic synthesis for various organic transformations and the preparation of commodity …

Sulfones are building blocks in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical chemistry. Direct α-
alkylation of sulfones using alcohols with water as the sole byproduct is an efficient and …

Chiral sulfones extensively exist in drugs, agricultural chemicals, chiral organic
intermediates, and functional materials. Their importance causes the rapid development of …

We report here our findings on the diverse reaction results of sulfones and alcohols. In the
presence of NiCl2/P (t-Bu) 3 and under a N2 atmosphere, α-C-alkylation of sulfones with …

Methylation of sulfones, which have an α-CH bond, can be easily achieved via a one-step,
Ru (II) catalyzed redox neutral reaction using methanol as a sustainable C1 building block …

We describe the recent emergence of a new approach for the synthesis of cyclopropane
rings by means of photoredox catalysis. This methodology relies on the photocatalytic …

Ruthenium carbonyl complexes supported by PNP pincer ligands are prominent catalysts for
a range of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions. Recently, Ru complexes with …

The accurate X-ray diffraction experiment was performed on the crystal of 1, 6-dimethyl-3-
propargyl-2, 4-pyrimidinedione at 100 K. The static electron density (ED) was obtained via …

Sulfones and sulfonamides with an α-CH bond can be easily alkylated by aliphatic alcohols
to add the carbon skeleton of the alcohol via a one-step, Ru (II)-catalyzed redox neutral …
