The Hantzsch ester anion acts not only as a photoreductant in the catalyst-free desulfurative coupling of alkyl benzothiazolyl sulfides with alkenes/alkynes, but also as a sacrificial reductant in an alternative organocatalytic reaction. The utility of this protocol is expanded to radical C-glycosylation, which includes a protective group-free substrate.

The Journal of Organic Chemistry 2023, 88, 12776-12782. (DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.3c01554)

The reductive coupling of alkyl or benzylic benzothiazole sulfones with arylacetylenes are performed in the presence of Hantzsch esters and K2CO3 under visible-light irradiation. The utility of this protocol is expanded to α-deuterative coupling using a deuterated Hantzsch ester, furnishing the corresponding alkenes with high deuterium incorporation.
