Abstract
In this study, we present a novel and environmentally sustainable protocol for the γ-hydrofunctionalization of N-allenyl compounds using various heteronucleophiles catalyzed solely by simple Brønsted acids. The method displays remarkable attributes, highlighting its sustainability, efficiency, regio- and stereoselectivity, as well as its versatile applicability to diverse heteroatom-containing enamides. Notably, our approach eliminates the need for metal catalysts and toxic solvents, representing a significant advancement in greener chemistry practices. We demonstrate the broad scope of our protocol by successfully scaling up reactions to gram-scale syntheses, underscoring its robustness for potential industrial implementation. The resulting γ-heterosubstituted enamides offer new possibilities for further synthetic transformations, yielding highly functionalized compounds with diverse applications. Mechanistic investigations reveal the pivotal role of CSA as a catalyst, enabling alcohol addition via a covalent activation mode.

Abstract
A one-pot dehydration cross-coupling reaction between allyl alcohols and sodium sulfinates that provides allyl sulfones in good to excellent yields is presented. Its broad substrate scope includes symmetrical and asymmetrical α,α-diaryl- and α-aryl-substituted allylic alcohols and aryl and alkyl sodium sulfinates. For asymmetrical allylic substrates, the E isomer predominates with examples of excellent stereoselectivity. Control experiments provide the basis for a proposed radical-mediated mechanism. The metal-free procedure applies cheap and commercially available tetrabutylammonium tribromide as the catalyst and H2O as the solvent. Notable features of this simple, efficient, weakly toxic, and environmentally benign strategy include mild and convenient operating conditions and readily accessible starting materials.

Abstract
Hydrosulfonylation of alkenes with readily available aromatic iodides via a SO2-insetion strategy is presented. The combination of non-noble Ni catalysis with (iPr)3SiH as the final reductant enables the efficient formation of aryl and heteroaryl sulfinate intermediates, which undergo Michael-type additions to electron-deficient alkenes for initiating the hydrosulfonylation process. Moreover, the superiority of this protocol is demonstrated by broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility.

Abstract
We report a simple protocol for the copper-catalyzed hydrothiolation of N-unsaturated precursors, i.e., allenamides, enamides, and ynamides, under mild conditions. This method proceeds with a low loading of a commercially available Cu(CH3CN)4PF6 catalyst and enables the room-temperature transformation of a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic thiols into allylic or vinylic thioethers, 1,3-dithioethers, and thioaminals with good regio- and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
The Bi(OTf)3-promoted hydrosulfonylation of alkenes with sulfonyl hydrazides to produce branched sulfones is reported, in which various branched sulfones (>40 examples) have been prepared in moderate to good yields. The gram-scale reaction and synthesis of the experimental inhibitor precursor showed the potential application. A preliminary mechanistic study revealed that double-bond migration to form the α,β-conjugated alkene is crucial for this transformation.
