title: Aerobic Nickel-Catalyzed Hydroxysulfonylation of Alkenes Using Sodium Sulfinates.
abstract: Nickel-catalyzed hydroxysulfonylation of alkenes was achieved using sodium sulfinates under air atmosphere. The procedure enabled the selective synthesis of β-hydroxysulfones in good yields and suppressed the formation of β-ketosulfones. On the contrary, sulfonylation of alkynes with sodium sulfonates afforded only β-ketosulfones.
