Abstract

A Cu-catalyzed multicomponent cascade reaction of DABCO·(SO2)2 (DABSO), alcohol, and aryl diazonium tetrafluoroborate was developed which afforded sulfonic esters in moderate to good chemical yields. In this reaction, the SO2 surrogate DABSO was used for the first time in the synthesis of sulfonic aliphatic esters. This multicomponent reaction was carried out under mild conditions and tolerated a wide range of substrates, which provides a new and efficient strategy for the synthesis of sulfonic esters.
