In this paper, a novel and efficient route for the synthesis of α,β-bis-sulfonyl arylketones via an NH2OH-HCl-mediated intermolecular umpolung α-methylsulfonylation of α-sulfonyl ketones with methylsulfoxides is described. A plausible mechanism is proposed and discussed. Various reaction conditions for this efficient, one-pot, environmentally friendly transformation were investigated.
