title: Tetrabutylammonium iodide catalyzed allylic sulfonylation of α-methyl styrene derivatives with sulfonylhydrazides.
abstract: Sulfonyl radicals generated from sulfonylhydrazides by the Bu(4)NI-tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) catalysis system underwent addition to a variety of α-methyl styrene derivatives to give the corresponding allylic sulfones. This selective allylic sulfonylation is metal-free, operationally simple, and environmentally friendly.
