Electrochemical sulfonylation/Truce–Smiles rearrangement of N-allylbenzamides: toward sulfone-containing β-arylethylamines and Saclofen analogues

A practical electrochemical sulfonylation-triggered Truce–Smiles rearrangement of N -allylbenzamides yielded sulfone- and sulfonic acid-containing β-arylethylamines under mild and oxidant-free reaction conditions.
