Popis: An electrochemical vicinal heterodifunctionalization of olefins for the synthesis of β-oxysulfones is described. With suitable choice of the conditions, including current, electrodes, and electrolyte, this oxidation reaction proceeded efficiently in an undivided cell without the use of a stoichiometric chemical oxidant. In addition to the previously established synthesis of β-hydroxysulfones in the presence of water, minor modification of this protocol by using either external alcohol nucleophiles or internal carboxylic acid nucleophile also led to the synthesis of β-alkoxysulfones, and β-sulfonyl lactones.
