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
Direct vicinal difunctionalization of π-systems has emerged as a powerful platform for constructing multiple bonds in a single synthetic operation using simple chemical feedstocks. Over the past decade, there has been exponential growth in the direct construction of successive C-S and C-I bonds using a wide variety of sulfonyl and iodide reactants through 1,2-iodosulfonylation of alkynes in a regio- and stereo-selective manner. In this review, we mainly focus on the recent developments in the preparation of β-iodovinyl sulfones and their practical applications in organic synthesis. The most promising photoredox and electrochemical transformations for synthesizing β-iodovinyl sulfones are also reviewed. The multifunctional β-iodovinyl sulfones have recently been burgeoning as versatile synthetic precursors due to the combination of vinyl iodide and vinyl sulfone moieties, essential building blocks for diverse synthetic manipulations. We hereby present the chemistry of β-iodovinyl sulfones, which can be classified into numerous sections based on the sulfonyl surrogates, and potential synthetic approaches are systematically outlined.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vinyl sulfones are a special sulfur-containing structural unit that have attracted considerable attention, owing to their important role in serving as key structural motifs of various biologically active compounds as well as serving as versatile building blocks for organic transformations. The synthetic strategy of vinyl sulfone derivatives has been substantially upgraded over the past 30 years, and the wide application of this functional group in drug design and discovery has been promoted. AREA COVERED In this review, the authors review the application of vinyl sulfones in drug discovery and select optimized compounds which might have significant impact or potential inspiration for drug design. EXPERT OPINION Vinyl sulfones have been reported to target various macromolecular targets via non-covalent or covalent interactions, including multiple kinases, tubulin, cysteine protease, transcription factor, and so on. Thus, it has been significantly applied as a privileged scaffold in the design of anticancer, anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective agents. However, much work remains to be done to improve the drug-like properties, such as chemical and metabolic stability, ADME, and toxicity. Besides, the chemical space of vinyl sulfones needs to be expanded, including but not limited to the design of constrained endocyclic and exocyclic vinyl sulfones.

Abstract
A photochemical halogen-bonding-assisted synthesis of vinyl sulfones via radical-radical cross-coupling of vinyl bromines and sodium sulfinates is developed. This methodology offers a facile and efficient approach to various vinyl sulfones with excellent functional group tolerance under metal-, photocatalyst-, base-, and oxidant-free conditions. The reaction is also applicable for the late-stage functionalization of drug molecules and the hectogram scale. Moreover, instead of sodium sulfites being prepared, these reactions could also be conducted using sulfonyl chlorides in a one-pot method.

Abstract
A gentle and effective method for the photocatalytic dual functionalization of allenes with high regio- and stereoselectivity using a nonmetallic catalyst is described. Inexpensive and easily available sulfinates and TMSN3 were employed as sulfone and azido sources, respectively. The method is characterized by satisfactory substrate compatibility and tolerance toward functional groups. The straightforward initial mechanistic experiments suggested that the reaction could follow a radical pathway. The synthesis of vinylsulfone azide derivatives presented here offers a promising scaffold for the future development of vinyl sulfone-based drugs and functional bioorthogonal reagents.

Abstract
Selectively producing a variety of valuable compounds using controlled chemical reactions starting from a common material is an appealing yet complex concept. Herein, a photocatalytic approach for the selective synthesis of (E)-β-aminovinyl sulfones and (E)-β-amidovinyl sulfones from allenamides and sodium sulfinates was established. This reaction exhibits the traits of an eco-friendly solvent and adjustable amide cleavage, and can accommodate a diverse range of substrates with exceptional functional group tolerance. Based on control experiments and deuterium labeling experiments, a plausible radical reaction pathway is proposed.

Abstract
A series of N-Substituted 2-(benzenosulfonyl)-1-carbotioamide derivatives (WZ1-WZ4) were synthesized and characterized using spectral methods. A comprehensive activity study was performed for each compound. All compounds were tested for antibacterial activity. Moreover, in silico studies were carried out to determine the anticancer potential of the designed WZ1-WZ4 ligands. Based on molecular docking, aldehyde dehydrogenase was selected as a molecular target. The obtained data were compared with experimental data in vitro tests. Novel hybrids of the thiosemicarbazide scaffold and sulfonyl groups may have promising anticancer activity via the aldehyde dehydrogenase pathway. The best candidate for further studies appears to be WZ2, due to its superior selectivity in comparison to the other tested compounds.

Abstract
An unprecedented carboxylative sulfonylation of (homo)propargyl amines with CO2 and sodium arylsulfinates under visible light irradiation has been developed with high efficiency. This ruthenium-catalysed photochemical protocol offers broad substrate scope giving 2-oxazolidinones and 2-oxazinones bearing alkyl sulfones in good yields under ambient reaction conditions. An in situ double bond isomerisation occurs in tandem. A mechanistic rationale for these radical-initiated carboxylative cyclisations involving sulfinyl radicals is presented, supported by control and quenching experiments.

Abstract
A reagentless, catalyst-free, and sustainable methodology was developed for facile access to cyclic and acyclic β-amino sulfones "on-water" using a microwave. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic amines undergo double aza-Michael addition on the surface of the water with water-insoluble divinyl sulfones upon microwave irradiation at 150 °C for 10 min to mostly afford solid cyclic β-amino sulfones as easily separable products in excellent yields by simple filtration avoiding any workup steps. Thus, all atoms of the substrates are reflected in the product making it a 100% atom-efficient method. Both electron-rich and electron-deficient amines participated well in the reaction as well as good functional group tolerance was observed. The competitive experiments expectedly revealed faster reaction kinetics for electron-rich amines. The methodology was extended to acyclic β-amino sulfones by interacting phenyl/ethyl vinyl sulfones with various amines in a similar manner. Expectedly, the method afforded very low environmental factors (in a range of 0.05-0.5) and a high Ecoscale score (up to 94). In an attempt toward sustainable development, this reagent-free, metal-free, organic solvent-free, cost-effective protocol is certainly a viable alternative to the available methods for β-amino sulfones.

Abstract
Against the backdrop of the well-known O-sulfonylation of cyclopropyl alcohols with sulfonyl chlorides, we examined the feasibility of conducting regioselective C-sulfonylation. By emulating an umpolung strategy-guided design, we report for the first time the Cu(II)-catalyzed β-sulfonylation of cyclopropanols by a mechanism that potentially involves an oxidative addition of a sulfonyl radical to a metal homoenolate. Unlike reported methods, this protocol allows a practical synthetic route to γ-keto sulfone building blocks from cyclopropanols by leveraging commercially available aryl- and alkyl-sulfonyl chlorides, common reagents in organic chemistry laboratories. Using operationally simple open-flask conditions, the preparative scope of starting materials was demonstrated using an array of aryl- and alkyl-substituted sulfonyl chlorides and cyclopropanols (43 examples, up to 96% yield).

Abstract
Sulfones are widely found in natural products and drug molecules. Here, we disclose a strategy for direct synthesis of sulfone compounds with diverse structures by visible-light-catalyzed radical-radical cross-coupling of sulfonyl chlorides and trifluoroborate salts. Allyl, benzyl, vinyl, and aryl trifluoroborates can be successfully cross-coupled with (hetero)aryl and alkyl sulfonyl chlorides, respectively. This strategy features redox neutrality, good substrate generality, simple operation, and benign reaction conditions.

Abstract
For the first time, a series of vinyl sulfone-NH2-based push-pull fluorophores (4a-4d) were introduced for their potential use in biological applications. The fluorophores 4a-4d were readily synthesized upon reduction of the corresponding vinyl sulfones-NO2 (3a-3d), which were prepared by sulfonylation of nitrostyrene. Both types of probes can be prepared in high yields through a few steps with minimal cost. In diverse solvents, probes 4a-4d exhibited fluorescence with strong emission peaking around 403-490 nm. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity of probe 4d rose approximately 85-fold with increasing viscosity. The probes 4a-4d demonstrated good stability and photostability in a broad pH range. Moreover, probes 4a-4d showed significantly improved biocompatibility compared to those derived from 3a-3d. For cell imaging applications, the developed probes 4a-4d exhibited much stronger blue fluorescence in cancer cells (HepG2) compared to 3a-3d. In addition, probes 4a-4d exhibited low cytotoxicity within 24 h toward both cancer and normal cells (HEK-293). Interestingly, probe 4d showed great sensitivity to viscosity in cancer cells. As a result, readily prepared vinyl sulfone-NH2-based push-pull fluorophores (4a-4d) offer a promising strategy for further development as cancer cell staining agents.

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 simple and efficient electrochemical sulfonylation of organoboronic acids with sodium arylsulfinate salts has been reported for the first time. A variety of aryl, heteroaryl, and alkenylsulfones were obtained in good to excellent yields via a simple electrochemical sulfonylation of various arylboronic acids, heterocyclic boronic acids, or alkenylboronic acids with sodium arylsulfinate at room temperature in 5 h under the catalyst-free and additive-free conditions. A plausible mechanism has been proposed based on various radical-trapping and CV control experiments.

Abstract
Efficient protocols for accessing iodo-substituted diaryl and aryl(vinyl) sulfides have been developed using iodonium salts as reactive electrophilic arylation and vinylation reagents. The reactions take place under transition-metal-free conditions, employing odorless and convenient sulfur reagents. A wide variety of functional groups are tolerated in the S-diarylation, enabling the regioselective late-stage application of several heterocycles and drug molecules under mild reaction conditions. A novel S-difunctionalization pathway was discovered using vinyliodonium salts, which proceeds under additive-free reaction conditions and grants excellent stereoselectivity in the synthesis of aryl(vinyl) sulfides. A one-pot strategy combining transition-metal-free diarylation and subsequent reduction provided facile access to electron-rich thioanilines and a direct synthesis of a potential drug candidate derivative. The retained iodo group allows a wide array of further synthetic transformations. Mechanistic insights were elucidated by isolating the key intermediate, and the relevant energy profile was substantiated by DFT calculations.

Abstract
The water-mediated tosylation of alkenes with tosyl cyanide was discovered. Experimental investigations revealed that the reaction was initiated by the in situ formation of sulfinyl sulfone in the presence of water. The sulfinyl sulfone species decomposed to a sulfonyl radical and a sulfinyl radical through homolytic fission. The vinyl sulfone was afforded via sequential addition of the alkene to the sulfonyl radical and the sulfinyl radical, followed by β-elimination of a sulfinyl moiety.

Abstract
γ-Keto sulfones are versatile building blocks and valuable intermediates in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical chemistry. Motivated by their excellent properties, we herein report a green, convenient, metal-free hydrosulfonylation method for a variety of ynones, vinyl ketones, and sodium sulfinates in the absence of stoichiometric oxidants. This operationally simple protocol provides straightforward and practical access to a wide range of γ-keto sulfones with broad functional group tolerance from easily available starting materials. Moreover, the β,γ-unsaturated keto sulfones could further react with 2,3-butadienoate to generate cyclopentenes in phosphine-mediated [3 + 2] cycloaddition.

Abstract
Cysteine is one of the least abundant amino acids in proteins of many organisms, which plays a crucial role in catalysis, signal transduction, and redox regulation of gene expression. The thiol group of cysteine possesses the ability to perform nucleophilic and redox-active functions that are not feasible for other natural amino acids. Cysteine is the most common covalent amino acid residue and has been shown to react with a variety of warheads, especially Michael receptors. These unique properties have led to widespread interest in this nucleophile, leading to the development of a variety of cysteine-targeting warheads with different chemical compositions. Herein, we summarized the various covalent warheads targeting cysteine residue and their application in drug development.
