Alkylation of secondary sulfonamides by alkyl halides or alcohols (Mitsunobu reaction) is an efficient method for secondary amines preparation. However, its application to parallel chemistry is often difficult due to partial reaction. In this Letter, we propose a fluorous technique to bypass this problem. Thus, o-nitrobenzenesulfonamides were prepared and alkylated in parallel (Fukuyama method) with various alkyl halides or alcohols. Depending on the nature of the alkyl halide or alcohol, this step remained incomplete. A reactive fluorous alkyl iodide was then used to trap the unreacted sulfonamide allowing for a rapid and efficient fluorous solid-phase extraction (FSPE). Some examples of the isolated tertiary sulfonamides were converted in parallel to the corresponding secondary amines with good purity.
