Kinetics of the reaction of 1-tosyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride with various amines were measured to examine the nature of sulfonyl transfer in enzymatic reactions.The activations parameters and the value of the Broensted exponent, β=0.48, are consistent with a small degree of bonding between the entering amine and the sulfur atom in the transition state.Similarities in the nucleophilic behavior of sulfonyl and carbonyl groups are detected.

A series of arylynamides with alkyloxy groups at the ortho position of the aryl group was prepared through a short alkylation/cross-coupling/amidation sequence. The gold-catalyzed conversion of these substrates combined both C-O and C-C formation steps, thus providing benzofurans with amine functionalities at the 2-position and alkyl groups at the 3-position. Cross-over experiments showed that the alkyl-migration step was an intermolecular process. X-ray crystal-structure analysis of two of the products supported our structural assignment. In some cases, the corresponding benzofurans without the alkyl group at the 3-position were obtained as side-products, which were formed through a competing protodeauration process. Golden touch: Arylynamides with o-alkyloxy groups were prepared through an alkylation/cross-coupling/amidation sequence. Their Au-catalyzed conversion provided benzofurans with amine groups at the 2-position and alkyl groups at the 3-position. Copyright
Sulfonyl transfer from imidazoles

The rate constants for the non-catalyzed bimolecular substitution of 1-tosylimidazole, 1, 1-tosyl-3-methylimidazolium, 2, and 1-tosyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium, 3, chlorides by primary aliphatic amines (5 n Nu=0.5, 0.5 and 0.6 respectively.Despite large variations in the reactivity, 6 powers of ten from 1 to 2, and in the leaving group pK's, 7 units from 2 to 1, the nucleophile effect is found to be nearly constant.The nucleofuge effect is also independent of the nucleophile; apparent βL-coefficients of approximately - 0.9 are observed whatever the amine.These data correspond to rate-limiting transition states where there is small but significant bonding of the sulfonyl with the entering amines and with the leaving imidazoles.These results strongly suggest a concerted single-step displacement mechanism; however, a stepwise mechanism involving a very unstable and very short-lived pentahedric intermediate cannot be strictly ruled out.These findings are compared with those on other acyl transfers.
