Abstract

Transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions represent a cornerstone strategy for C—C bond formation in organic synthesis. Herein, a Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl sodium sulfinates and aryl sulfonium salts via the interrupted Pummerer activation was developed. A variety of sodium sulfinates and aryl sulfonium salts were screened to show robustness of this method. Notably, two examples of late-stage functionalization of drugs exemplified potential utility in pharmaceutical synthesis.

Key words: transition metal catalysis, desulfinative coupling, C—H activation, post-modification of pharmaceuticals
