In 2017, Maiti and coworkers disclosed the first pyrimidine‐based template, which is effective for meta‐C–H olefination of benzylsulfonyl and 2‐phenethylsulfonyl esters, leading to an unconventional formation of α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes with benzyl‐protected allyl alcohols (Scheme 2.37) [39]. This novel pyrimidine‐based template was also utilized for the production of β‐aryl aldehydes and ketones, using allyl alcohols through meta‐C–H alkylation of benzylsulfonyl and 2‐phenethylsulfonyl esters.

In the same year, the Maiti group introduced the novel 8‐nitroquinoline‐based directing template for meta‐C–H functionalization of benzylsulfonyl esters via strong σ‐coordination, ensuring the potential formation of a stable palladacycle (Scheme 2.38) [36]. The protocol enabled both meta‐C–H olefination and acetoxylation, which could be scaled up and diversified to synthetically important compounds in late stage.

In 2017, Maiti and coworkers also developed the XPhos‐supported Rhodium catalysis of meta‐C–H olefination of benzylsulfonic acids with the assistance of 2‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxy benzonitrile template (Scheme 2.39) [22]. Complete mono‐selectivity was observed for this reaction, and a range of olefins and substituents at all positions of the aryl ring were found to be tolerated.

The development of efficient methods for the synthesis of organofluorine compounds is of great interest. Werz, Zanoni, Maiti, and coworkers achieved the first meta‐C–H perfluoroalkenylation of benzylsulfonic acid derivatives using the pyrimidine‐based template with several commercially available perfluoroolefins (Scheme 2.40) [24]. The substrate scope was broad and a high degree of compatibility with perfluoroolefins of different nature was also observed.

In 2019, Paton, Maiti, and coworkers developed the Palladium(II)‐catalyzed meta‐selective C–H allylation of benzylsulfonyl esters using synthetically inert acyclic internal olefins as allylic surrogates (Scheme 2.41) [27]. The pyrimidine‐based directing group proved to be the key factor to facilitate the olefin insertion by overcoming inertness of the typical unactivated internal olefins for meta‐selective C–H activations. A broad scope of substrates with wide functional‐group tolerance was viable with this method to give good to excellent yields of products with exclusive E stereoselectivity.

Direct transformation of a C
H bond to a carbon–heteroatom bond is highly important since their prevalence in complex natural products, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. In 2016, Sunoj, Maiti, and coworkers achieved meta‐C–H oxygenation of benzylsulfonyl esters by using an oxygenating agent PhI(OOCR3)2 (Scheme 2.42) [40]. Notably, the formation of hydroxylated or acetoxylated molecules was obtained under similar reaction conditions with the variation of R (R = H, F) on the common agent PhI(OOCR3)2. Importantly, the approach had also been applied to the synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted phenols.Scheme 2.42 meta‐C–H oxygenation of benzylsulfonyl esters.

In 2017, Maiti and coworkers disclosed a pyrimidine‐based template assisted meta‐C–H cyanation of benzylsulfonyl and 2‐phenethylsulfonyl esters using stoichiometric amount of copper(I) cyanide as the cyanating agent (Scheme 2.43) [41]. The meta‐cyano products are useful building blocks for synthesis of complex natural products as well as many drug molecules, and the synthesis of pharmaceutically valuable precursors was demonstrated by using this novel protocol.
