Abstract
A highly efficient and eco-friendly method has been developed for the synthesis of allyl sulfones using Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) adducts and thiosulfonates under mild conditions. The Cs2CO3-promoted radical sulfonylation provided a series of allyl sulfones in good to high yields with high stereoselectivities. A wide variety of MBH bromides/acetates as well as thiosulfonates were tolerated and reliable in scaled-up synthesis. A plausible mechanism is proposed to rationalize the radical sulfonylation.

In the 1H NMR spectra of aryl substituted products, the vinylic proton cis- to the ester group appears around δ = 7.90 ppm and around δ = 6.85 ppm for the Z- and E-isomers, respectively. Similarly, the vinylic proton of the major Z-isomer appears at around δ = 7.09 ppm and a minor peak for the E-isomer appears at around δ = 6.08 ppm for alkyl substituted products. See:
