A copper-catalyzed Chan-Lam-coupling-like reaction of a (het)arylboronic acid and chloramine-T (or a related compound) has been developed for the synthesis of N -arylsulfonamides at room temperature in moderate to good yields, with good tolerance of functional groups. In this process, it is believed that chloramine-T serves as an electrophile.

A green and practical method for the synthesis of N-arylsulfonamides from chloramine salts and arylboronic acids is herein developed. The reaction proceeds readily in the presence of 5 mol% of CuI and 2.5 equiv. K2CO3 in water at room temperature, generating a variety of N-arylsulfonamides in moderate to good yields with good functional group tolerance.

A heterogeneous Chan-Lam coupling reaction between sulfonyl azides and arylboronic acids was achieved in MeOH at room temperature in the presence of 10 mol% of an l-proline-functionalized MCM-41-immobilized copper(i) complex [MCM-41-l-proline-CuCl] under air, yielding a variety of N-arylsulfonamides in excellent yields. The new heterogeneous copper complex can be prepared from commercially readily available and inexpensive reagents, and recovered by simple filtration of the reaction solution and recycled at least 8 times without any decreases in activity.

Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed C-N bond-formation reaction of sulfonamides with organoboronic acids or trimethoxy(phenyl)silane was achieved in the presence of 20mol% of Cu(OAc)2, providing N-arylation products with yields ranging from moderate to good.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of an arylsulfonamide class of γ-secretase inhibitors are described. Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of multifunctional molecular probes harboring a benzophenone photophore as a cross-linking group and a biotin tag are also reported.

The reaction of substituted anilines and benzenesulfonyl chlorides has been used to prepare 49 substituted N-phenylbenzenesulfonamides of general formula 4-X-C6H4SO2NHC6H4-Y- 4′. Their purity was checked by elemental analysis. The substituents X and Y include H, CH3, CH3O, Cl, Br, CN, and NO2. The dissociation constants of all compounds were determined by potentiometric titration in methanol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, and pyridine. The obtained dissociation constants, pKHA, were correlated with various sets of substituent constants. It was found that the effects of substituents X and Y on the dissociation are best described by using the Hammett equation with σp constants and the Yukawa-Tsuno equation with σp- and σp constants, respectively. This result confirms the direct conjugation of Y substituent with the reaction centre. The explained variability using the additive model was above 96% in all the solvents used. The data also provided information about the transmission effect of the SO2 group. The average dissociation constants were further processed by the latent variables methods, principal components and conjugated deviations analyses.

Kinetic studies were carried out on the reactions of anilines with 2-cyano-2-propyl and 1-cyanocyclooctyl arenesulfonates in acetonitrile at 50·0°C. The second-order rate constants for the former are in general greater than those for the latter but the rates of the two become comparable for a strong nucleofuge. The cross-interaction constants, ρXZ (and βXZ), are considerably smaller (ca -0·04) than those for the primary (ca 0·33) and secondary (ca 0·12) compounds. The negative sign and small magnitude are consistent with a dissociative SN2 mechanism with a loose transition state structure. The ab initio MO theoretical results for Cl- + RCl?ClR + Cl- at the MP2 level (MP2/6-31 + G*//MP2/6-31 + G*) confirm the looseness of the transition state for the tertiary (R) alkyl compounds. The average r*(Cl...Cl) value is 4·88 ± 0·03 A, which is larger than those for the reactions at primary (4·68± 0·02 A) and secondary (4·80 ± 0·02 A) carbon centers. Thus a looser transition state with a smaller magnitude of ρXZ for the tertiary carbon centers has a larger theoretical r*(Cl-Cl) value.

Kinetic studies of nucleophilic substitution reactions of substituted benzenesulfonyl chlorides with anilines were conducted at 35 deg C in a range of methanol-acetonitril solvent mixtures.Results showed that (i) the magnitudes of ρN and β associated with a change of substituent in the nucleophile are large and indicate a relatively advanced bond-formation in the transition state, (ii) maximum size of ρN, ρS and β at the solvent composition of the maximum ionizing power, together with a positive cross-interaction coefficient, suggest SN2 transition state of a "synchronous push-pull" type, and (iii) the potential energy surface model is unstable to predict the transition state variation to a more product-like transition state, where bond formation is much more progressed and bond-breaking is slightly more advanced, upon changing the solvent to a more ionizing one enhancing leaving ability.In this respect the quantum mechanical model is superior to the potential energy surface model.
