Abstract
In nature, cyclopropylcarbinyl cation is often involved in cationic cascade reactions catalyzed by natural enzymes to produce a great number of structurally diverse natural substances. However, mimicking this natural process with artificial organic catalysts remains a daunting challenge in synthetic chemistry. We report a small molecule-catalyzed asymmetric rearrangement of cyclopropylcarbinyl cations, leading to a series of chiral homoallylic sulfide products with good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% enantiomeric excess). In the presence of a chiral SPINOL-derived N-triflyl phosphoramide catalyst, the dehydration of prochiral cyclopropylcarbinols occurs rapidly to generate symmetrical cyclopropylcarbinyl cations, which are subsequently trapped by thione-containing nucleophiles. A subgram-scale experiment and multiple downstream transformations of the sulfide products are further pursued to demonstrate the synthetic utility. Notably, a few heteroaromatic sulfone derivatives could serve as "covalent warhead" in the enzymatic inhibition of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 main protease.

Abstract
A series of 2- and 3-pyridyl sulfonate and tosylate esters of primary and secondary alcohols were synthesized and evaluated in the bromination reaction with MgBr2·Et2O. The greater coordinating ability of the 2-pyridyl sulfonate esters accounted for its observed superior reactivity and selectivity. Reaction of neopentyl and phenyl 2-pyridyl sulfonates with a variety of aryl and heteroaryl Li reagents led to 2-substituted pyridines at temperatures as low as −78 °C via an SNAr process. Mechanistic considerations are discussed.
