Abstract
Incorporating a sulfonyl group into parent molecules has been shown to effectively improve their synthetic applications and bioactivities. In this study, we present a straightforward and practical approach for the ring-opening reaction of alkenyl-aryl sulfonium salts with sodium sulfinates to produce a range of sulfur-containing alkyl sulfones. This method offers the benefits of mild reaction conditions, easily accessible raw materials, wide substrate applicability, good functional group compatibility, and operational simplicity. Importantly, the resulting products can be readily converted into sulfoxides, sulfones, sulfoximines, and some heterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
Cyclic sulfones have demonstrated important applications in drug discovery. However, the catalytic and enantioselective synthesis of chiral cyclic sulfones remains challenging. Herein, we develop nickel-catalyzed regiodivergent and enantioselective hydroalkylation of sulfolenes to streamline the synthesis of chiral alkyl cyclic sulfones. The method has broad scope and high functional group tolerance. The regioselectivity can be controlled by ligands only. A neutral PYROX ligand favors C3-alkylation whereas an anionic BOX ligand favors C2-alkylation. This control is kinetic in origin as the C2-bound Ni intermediates are always thermodynamically more stable. Reactivity study of a wide range of relevant Ni intermediates reveal a NiI/NiIII catalytic cycle with a NiII-H species as the resting state. The regio- and enantio-determining step is the insertion of this NiII-H species into 2-sulfolene. This work provides an efficient catalytic method for the synthesis of an important class of organic compounds and enhances the mechanistic understanding of Ni-catalyzed stereoselective hydroalkylation.

Abstract
A highly regio- and enantioselective hydrosulfonylation using commercially available sodium sulfinates is reported, providing the first direct asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed hydrosulfonylation of allenes/alkynes to synthesize chiral allylic sulfones. Ligand screening studies demonstrated the indispensable role of the C1-symmetric P,N-ligand (Rax,S,S)-StackPhim for achieving both high regioselecitivity (>20:1) and enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee). Notably, the operationally simple method and mild conditions allow for the rapid preparation of chiral allylic sulfones with a wide scope of functional groups. Moreover, the use of sodium tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethanesulfinate enables the collective synthesis of various chiral sulfone derivatives after simple transformations of the protected hydroxymethyl product.

Abstract
A visible-light-triggered ring opening/in situ SO2-capture/alkynylation sequence of cyclopropyl alcohols with alkynyl triflones using 4CzIPN as a triplet energy transfer photocatalyst is herein described. This metal-free protocol provides a straightforward and atom-economical approach to alkynyl-substituted γ-keto sulfones with a broad scope of substituents. In this transformation, alkynyl triflones could be used as both radical acceptors and SO2 donors. Preliminary experimental mechanistic studies and synthetic utility are also demonstrated.

Abstract
Rh-(R,R)-f-spiroPhos complex-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-substituted alkenyl sulfones has been achieved, affording the chiral γ-keto sulfones and simple α-alkyl-substituted sulfones in high yields (96-99%) with excellent chemo-/enantioselectivities (86-96% ee) and high turnover numbers (TONs) of up to 4000. The method provides an efficient and high-enantioselectivity strategy for chiral γ-keto sulfones and simple α-substituted sulfones under mild conditions. Moreover, the obtained hydrogenation product was transformed into other important chiral α-substituted sulfones.

Abstract
Organosulfur functionalities are ubiquitous in nature, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, materials and flavourants. Historically, these moieties were introduced almost exclusively using ionic chemistry; however, radical-based methods for the installation of sulfur-based functional groups have recently come to the fore. These radical methods have enabled their late-stage introduction into complex molecules, avoiding the need to preserve labile organosulfur moieties through multistep synthetic sequences. Here, we discuss homolytic C-S bond-forming processes, with a particular emphasis on radical substitution approaches to sulfide, disulfide and sulfinyl products, and the use of sulfur dioxide and its surrogates to build sulfonyl products. We also highlight the mechanistic considerations that we hope will guide further development of radical-based strategies compatible with the various organosulfur moieties that feature in modern chemistry.

Abstract
The organocatalytic asymmetric Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reaction of isatin derivatives with various vinyl sulfones is disclosed. Chiral sulfone-containing 3-hydroxyoxindoles were produced in good to high yields and with good to high ee's. This report displays an unprecedented example to apply activated alkenes with sulfone moiety other than carbonyl groups in asymmetric MBH reactions and provides an efficient strategy to incorporate the sulfone functional group for the synthesis of chiral 3-hydroxyoxindoles.

Abstract
A novel methodology for the preparation of chiral methyl benzylic compounds is reported. Terminal homoallyl sulfones were prepared from homoallyl alcohols, which are easily accessible through the recently reported Lewis acid isomerization of oxetanes. The iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of homoallylic sulfones afforded γ-chiral sulfones with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). The synthetic potential of this novel methodology was demonstrated by the total synthesis of (R)-(-)-curcumene.

Abstract
The catalytic, enantio- and diastereoselective addition of hydantoin surrogates II to "rigidified" vinylidene bis(sulfone) reagents is developed, thus overcoming the inability of commonly employed β-substituted vinylic sulfones to react. Adducts are transformed in enantioenriched 5,5-disubstituted hydantoins through hydrolysis and reductive desulfonylation processes providing new structures for eventual bioassays. Density functional theory studies that rationalize the observed reactivity and stereoselectivity trends are also provided.

Abstract
A carbene-catalyzed sulfonylation reaction between enone aryl aldehydes and sulfonyl chlorides is disclosed. The reaction effectively installs sulfone moieties in a highly enantioselective manner to afford sulfone-containing bicyclic lactones. The sulfonyl chloride behaves both as an oxidant and a nucleophilic substrate (via its reduced form) in this N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed process. The NHC catalyst provides both activation and stereoselectivity control on a very remote site of enone aryl aldehyde substrates. Water plays an important role in modulating catalyst deactivation and reactivation routes that involve reactions between NHC and sulfonyl chloride. Experimental studies and DFT calculations suggest that an unprecedented intermediate and a new oxidation mode of the NHC-derived Breslow intermediate are involved in the new asymmetric sulfonylation reaction.
