A new cross-coupling reaction of N-benzylic sulfonamides with 2-substituted cyanoacetates for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzylbenzene was reported. In the presence of AlCl3, a broad range of N-benzylic sulfonamides reacted smoothly with 2-substituted cyanoacetates to afford structurally diverse benzylbenzenes in moderate to excellent yields. The conversion could be enlarged to gram-scale efficiently. The practicability of this approach was further manifested in the synthesis of a related bioactive agent with high anti-inflammatory activity.

Development of highly active heterogeneous catalysts with strong acidity and mesoporous structure is a highly attractive strategy for organic synthesis. In this study, a mesoporous zeolite beta (HBeta-M) with bulky particle size and strong acidity was synthesized and used in the direct N-alkylation of sulfonamides with alcohols. The strongly acidic HBeta-M had a higher intrinsic activity with initial turnover frequency of 11 × 10-2 s-1 than those of H-form mordenite nanosheets (3.3 × 10-2 s-1) and montmorillonite (4.0 × 10-2 s-1) catalysts. The experiment and characterization results demonstrate that there are two parallel reaction routes on the acidic catalysts. One route is the reaction of benzhydrol with p-toluenesulfonamide (route I). Another route is the reaction of dibenzhydryl ether, arising from route I, with p-toluenesulfonamide (route II), which is found in this work. The reaction rate of route I (13 × 10-3 mol kg-1 s-1) was higher than that of route II (9.8 × 10-3 mol kg-1 s-1) on HBeta-M, but route II predominantly contributed to the formation of the target product with high selectivity. Hereby, a complete reaction mechanism is proposed in this work.
