Abstract
The synthesis of β-hydroxysulfones selectively in preference to β-ketosulfones by dye-sensitized photocatalysis is demonstrated by employing inexpensive and readily available olefins and sulfonyl hydrazides/N-hydroxy sulfonamides in the presence of oxygen. The facile hydroxysulfonylation reaction, which involves the use of rose bengal (RB) as a photocatalyst and dioxygen as an oxidant, permits access selectively to secondary and tertiary β-hydroxysulfones in good to excellent isolated yields at rt and is compatible with aryl, heteroaryl and alkyl sulfonyl hydrazides. Mechanistically, sulfonyl radicals are generated by a cascade of redox reactions, set off by the photocatalyst RB, between sulfonyl hydrazide and dioxygen. Attack of the sulfonyl radicals on olefins followed by oxygenation of the radical intermediates leads to hydroxysulfonylation products selectively without the requirement of a metal catalyst/additive/reductant/base, conforming to the tenets of sustainable chemistry. It is shown that the formations of β-hydroxysulfones and β-ketosulfones proceed concurrently through two different routes and that the outcome is crucially dependent on oxygen concentration with the former being formed predominantly under an oxygen atmosphere, a feature that is heretofore unprecedented to the best of our knowledge.

Abstract
The direct difunctionalization of inexpensive and widely available alkenes has been recognized as a strong and straightforward tool for the rapid fabrication of complex molecules and pharmaceutical targets by introducing two different functional groups on adjacent carbon atoms of common alkene moieties in a single operation. This synthetic strategy avoids the purification and isolation of the intermediates and thus makes synthetic schemes shorter, simpler and cleaner. In this family of reactions, the hydroxysulfonylation of alkenes has emerged as an increasingly promising strategy for the synthesis of β-hydroxysulfones, which are found in many biologically important molecules and widespread applications in organic synthesis. The objective of this review is to illustrate the advancements in the field of hydroxysulfonylation of alkenes with special emphasis on the mechanistic details of the reaction pathways. The direct difunctionalization of alkenes recognized as a straightforward tool for the rapid fabrication of complex molecules and pharmaceutical targets by introducing two different functional groups on adjacent carbon atoms of common alkene moieties.![]()

Abstract
Chiral sulfones extensively exist in drugs, agricultural chemicals, chiral organic intermediates, and functional materials. Their importance causes the rapid development of their synthetic methods in recent years. Many transition metal complex catalysts with chiral ligands and chiral organocatalysts are adopted in synthesis of chiral sulfones. Most of the methods to construct chiral sulfones are based on the reduction of unsaturated sulfones and the introduction of sulfone groups into unsaturated hydrocarbons. This review describes all classes of asymmetric reactions for synthesis of chiral sulfones.

Abstract
An efficient one-pot multistep strategy has been developed, comprising auto-oxidative difunctionalization of alkenes, oxidation of sulfides, and a further reduction of peroxides for the synthesis of complex β-hydroxysulfone derivatives from phenthiols and alkenes. This method has several advantageous characteristics, including readily available substrates, low-cost and environmental benign reagents, nontoxic and renewable solvents, and mild reaction conditions. The application of this transformation to the multigram-scale preparation of the anticancer drug bicalutamide is accomplished.
