Figure 2. Charge distribution of intermediate 6.
In conclusion, we have demonstrated a ruthenium-catalyzed
remote sulfonylation at the C5 position of the pyridyl group of N-
aryl-2-aminopyridines with aromatic sulfonyl chlorides. The
reaction provides substituted pyridyl sulfone derivatives in good
to moderate yields. The deuterium labeling studies and
mechanistic investigation proves that the ruthenametallacycle is
a key intermediate in the reaction which forms via the C−H bond
activation. The DFT calculation clearly supports that the C3
position of the pyridyl group is more nucleophilic as compared
with other carbons of the ruthenametallacycle intermediate.
