Description:

An easy solvent-free method is described for the conversion of ketones into β-keto sulfones in high yields that involves in situ generation of α-tosyloxyketones followed by nucleophilic substitution with sodium arene sulfinate in presence of tetra-butylammonium bromide at room temperature. The salient features of this one-pot protocol are short reaction times, cleaner reaction profiles, and simple work-up that precludes the use of toxic solvents.
