| A visible-light-driven photocatalytic strategy for the sulfonamidation/cyclization of N-allyl and N-homoallyl aldehyde hydrazones is described, employing N-aminopyridinium salts as sulfonylamino radical precursors. This transformation enables efficient access to sulfonylamino-substituted pyrazoles and tetrahydropyridazines under mild conditions. This protocol exhibits broad substrate scope, good to excellent yields, and excellent scalability. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that the reaction proceeds via a sulfonamino radical-mediated cascade cyclization pathway. Notably, the N-aminopyridinium salts serve a dual role both sulfonamination reagents and hydrogen-atom transfer mediators, enabling the one-step synthesis of sulfonylamidated pyrazoles. |
