Characteristic Hydrogen Bonding Observed in the Crystals of Aromatic Sulfonamides: 1D Chain Assembly of Molecules and Chiral Discrimination on Crystallization

N-Phenylbenzenesulfonamides exist preferentially in (+)- or (-)-synclinal conformations, which place the aromatic rings at both ends in the same direction with a twist. We have systematically analyzed the crystal structure of secondary aromatic sulfonamides bearing methyl, ethyl, and/or methoxy groups on the benzene rings. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the sulfonamide protons and sulfonyl oxygens was observed in 81 out of 85 crystals. The intermolecular hydrogen-bonding patterns could be classified into four types, i.e. Dimeric, Zigzag, Helical, and Straight patterns, with retention of the synclinal conformation of the sulfonamide moiety. We investigated the relationship between the hydrogen-bonding pattern and the proportion of the compounds that show chiral crystallization. On the basis of our classification of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds of aromatic sulfonamides, the crystals with Dimeric and Zigzag patterns, which both have enantiomeric synclinal conformers, intrinsically become achiral, except for kryptoracemates. In contrast, a high proportion of compounds with Helical or Straight patterns in the crystals showed chiral crystallization. Our classification is useful for discussion regarding the chirality of molecular assemblies, on the basis of the conformational chirality of the molecules in the crystal.

Highly chemo- and regioselective C-P cross-coupling reaction of quinone imine ketals with Ar2P(O)H to construct: Ortho -amino triarylphosphine derivatives

A highly chemo- and regioselective approach for the construction of ortho-amino triarylphosphine oxides has been achieved through a C-P cross-coupling reaction involving quinone imine ketals (QIKs) with Ar2P(O)H and catalyzed via a Lewis base. This alternative protocol provided a wide substrate scope with excellent yields (82-95%), and a variety of ortho-amino triarylphosphines were obtained with high yields (87-95%) via further reductive reaction. Furthermore, this reaction could be scaled-up and several synthetic transformations were accomplished for the construction of functionalized organophosphorus.

Synthesis of N-arylsulfonamides through a Pd-catalyzed reduction coupling reaction of nitroarenes with sodium arylsulfinates

A novel one-step direct reductive coupling reaction between nitroarenes and sodium arylsulfinates was realized in the presence of an inexpensive Pd/C catalyst. In this procedure, readily available nitroarenes are employed as the nitrogen sources, and sodium arylsulfinates serve as both coupling partners and reductants. The method features high efficiency by using cheap Pd/C with low catalyst loading and good functional group tolerance in the absence of any additional reductants or ligands. This facile and mild synthetic method enables the high efficiency synthesis of functionalized N-arylsulfonamides from readily available substrates.

A highly efficient heterogeneous copper-catalyzed Chan-Lam coupling reaction of sulfonyl azides with arylboronic acids leading to: N -arylsulfonamides

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.

One-Pot Sulfonamide Synthesis Exploiting the Palladium-Catalyzed Sulfination of Aryl Iodides

Aryl ammonium sulfinates, conveniently prepared from aryl iodides and the sulfur dioxide surrogate DABSO, under the action of a palladium(0) catalyst, are transformed in a one-pot process to a variety of functionalized sulfonamides. The sulfinate to sulfonamide transformation is achieved by simple treatment with an aqueous solution of the relevant amine and sodium hypochlorite (bleach). A broad range of amines, including anilines, and amino acid derivatives, are combined efficiently with a variety of aryl iodides, leading to sulfonamides in high yields.

Spontaneous resolution of aromatic sulfonamides: Effective screening method and discrimination of absolute structure

(Chemical Equation Presented) An effective screening method combining parallel synthesis and solid-state CD measurements was established to identify achiral aromatic sulfonamides that show spontaneous resolution with rapidity. We found that 4 of the 12 achiral sulfonamides crystallized as chiral crystals through this method. The chirality of each sulfonamide was discriminated by solid-state CD spectra and Flack parameter in an X-ray analysis. Correspondence between the observed Cotton effect and the absolute configuration could be confirmed by time-dependent DFT calculations.

Effect of para substitution on dissociation of N-phenylbenzenesulfonamides

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.

Acyclic amides as estrogen receptor ligands: Synthesis, binding, activity and receptor interaction

We have prepared a series of bisphenolic amides that mimic bibenzyl and homobibenzyl motifs commonly found as substructures in ligands for the estrogen receptor (ER). Representative members were prepared from three classes: N-phenyl benzamides, N-phenyl acetamides, and N-benzyl benzamides; in some cases the corresponding thiocarboxamides and sulfonamides were also prepared. Of these three classes, the N-phenyl benzamides had the highest affinity for ER, the N-phenyl acetamides had lower, and the N-benzyl benzamides were prone to fragmentation via a quinone methide intermediate. In the N-phenyl benzamide series, the highest affinity analogues had bulky N-substituents; a CF3 group, in particular, conferred high affinity. The thiocarboxamides bound better than the corresponding carboxamides and these bound better than the corresponding sulfonamides. Binding affinity comparisons suggest that the p-hydroxy group on the benzoate ring, which contributes most to the binding, is playing the role of the phenolic hydroxyl of estradiol. Computational studies and NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis indicate that the two anilide systems studied have a strong preference for the s-cis or exo amide conformation, which places the two aromatic rings in a syn orientation. We used this structural template, together with the X-ray structure of the ER ligand binding domain, to elaborate an additional hydrogen bonding site on a benzamide system that elevated receptor binding further. When assayed on the individual ER subtypes, ERα and ERβ, these compounds show modest binding affinity preference for ERα. In a reporter gene transfection assay of transcriptional activity, the amides generally have full to nearly full agonist character on ERα, but have moderate to full antagonist character on ERβ. One high affinity carboxamide is 500-fold more potent as an agonist on ERα than on ERβ. This work illustrates that ER ligands having simple amide core structures can be readily prepared, but that high affinity binding requires an appropriate distribution of bulk, polarity, and functionality. The strong conformational preference of the core anilide function in all of these ligands defines a rather rigid geometry for further structural and functional expansion of these series.
