A catalyst-free sulfonylation of activated alkenes developed under mild conditions in water.
A catalyst-free sulfonylation reaction of activated alkenes with sulfonyl hydrazides was efficiently developed under mild and environmentally benign conditions, in water without any ligand or additive. The reaction gave a range of structurally diverse mono-substituted ethyl sulfones with excellent yields, in which the by-product was nitrogen.
