Unlike compound 2b the sulfonyl chloride 2a is fairly stable. After drying and purification it was
therefore reacted with amines under traditional conditions, i.e., the sulfonylamides 4a-g were synthesized in
anhydrous benzene in the presence of triethylamine. It was found that the reaction of 2a with primary amines
takes place in different ways. If the primary amine is added to a solution of the sulfonyl chloride 2a the
bissulfonylamides 5a,b are formed in addition to the required sulfonylamides 4a,b. Conditions were found that
make it possible to exclude the parallel competing reaction, and for this purpose a solution of the sulfonyl
chloride 2a was added dropwise to a solution of the primary amine at 10-15°C.
The results from elemental analysis are presented in Table 1. The structure of the synthesized
1
compounds was confirmed by a combination of IR, H NMR, and mass spectra (Tables 2 and 3, experimental
section).
1
The H NMR spectrum of the sulfonyl chloride 2a only contains signals for the two methyl groups of
pyridine at 2.80 and 2.85 ppm. In the mass spectrum there is a group of molecular ion peaks with relative
intensity of 15%. Two primary fragmentation paths are observed, i.e., elimination of the SO2 group and loss of
the SO2Cl group, and the fraction of the last fragment is maximum in the total ion current. The secondary
dissociative ionization is characterized by loss of the CN, Cl, and other groups.
