Photochemical reaction of variously substituted p-toluenesulfonanilides was studied. The reaction gives rearranged products, o- and p-amino-substituted diaryl sulfones with the combined yields of 38-72%: the p-isomer is more favored over the o-isomer with the selectivity ratio of 1.1-4.3 depending on the substituents. N-Alkylation of the sulfonanilides increases the yields of the rearranged products, and e-withdrawing substituents on the N-phenyl ring does not lower the yields drastically. This study provides simple methodology for the synthesis of o- and p-aminoaryl sulfones which are otherwise not easily accessible.
Possibilities and Limits of the Carbanionically Induced Sulfonamide-Aminosulfone Rearrangement

When transfering the title reaction to the 2- and 1-naphthyltoluenesulfonamides 5 and 10, the -shift of the arylsulfonyl group proceeds into the 3- and 2-position (to give 9 and 12, respectively), which is in full compliance with optimal conjugative and steric conditions for the relevant intermediates 8 and 11.Attemps to initiate comparable -rearrangements through the o-lithiated biphenyl derivative 17 and the p-lithiated N-phenyltoluenesulfonamide 23 led again, after extended transmetalation cascades, to the conventional -rearrangement products 22 and 32, respectively.In attempting to cause in the o-tolylbenzenesulfonamide 49 an anionically induced -sulfonyl shift into the benzyl position, two fragments of the starting molecule combined to give the novel heteropolycycle 51.Finally, it could be shown that contrary to the literature, the sulfonamides 46 and 57 rearrange also photolytically to the o-aminosulfones 45 and 58.
