- One-pot synthesis of sulfonamides from methyl sulfinates using ultrasound
-
Room temperature ultrasonic irradiation of neat mixtures of methyl sulfinates and primary or secondary amines (1.5 equiv) produced sulfinamides, which on m-CPBA oxidation (in dichloromethane) were converted into the corresponding sulfonamides. The two steps can be accomplished in one pot, in good overall yields, when using secondary amines, but primary amines give better sulfonamide yields when the peracid oxidation is effected on the purified sulfinamide. This constitutes a mild, efficient, and potentially scalable route to sulfonamides, which obviates the use of water sensitive, often lachrymatory sulfonyl chlorides and large reagent excesses.

- Mild and general method for the synthesis of sulfonamides
-
Reaction of methyl sulfinates with lithium amides followed by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid oxidation of the resulting sulfinamides provides primary, secondary, and tertiary alkane-, arene-and heteroarenesulfonamides in high yields. This constitutes a mild and facile experimental protocol that avoids the use of hazardous, unstable, or volatile reagents and does not affect the configurational stability of the amines.
