Vinyl sulfones

Examples include phenyl vinyl sulfone,[2] methyl vinyl sulfone,[3] and ethyl vinyl sulfone.[4]

Preparation

Divinyl sulfone is prepared from the diacetate bis(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfide. Oxidation of this diester with hydrogen peroxide gives the sulfone. The sulfone is then pyrolyzed to induce elimination of two equivalents of acetic acid:[5]

Other vinyl sulfones are prepared analogously to the vinyl sulfone, i.e. by H2O2-oxidation of the sulfide.[6]

Reactions and uses

Vinyl sulfones are dienophiles. Subsequent to the cycloaddition to a vinyl sulfone, the phenylsulfonyl group can be removed by reduction with zinc.[7]

Vinyl sulfones are Michael acceptors.[8] Vinyl sulfones add thiols, such as cysteine residues.[9] This same reactive nature is responsible for their major industrial use in vinyl sulfone dyes.[10]

Phenyl vinyl sulfone has been applied to ruthenium chemistry as part of olefin metathesis reactions.[11]

Vinyl sulfone has applications to protein purification, especially when linked with mercaptoethanol.[12]

Commercial applications

Vinyl sulfone has uses as a molluscicide pesticide.[13]

Safety

Like similar compounds, vinyl sulfone is a lacrymator and skin irritant. These properties are somewhat mitigated because of its low volatility.[8]
