Reaction with sulfonamides

Sulfonic esters are most frequently prepared by treatment of the corresponding halides with alcohols in the presence of a base. The method is much used for the conversion of alcohols to tosylates, brosylates, and similar sulfonic esters. Both R and R may be alkyl or aryl. The base is often pyridine, which functions as a nucleophilic catalyst, as in the similar alcoholysis of carboxylic acyl halides (10-21). Primary alcohols react the most rapidly, and it is often possible to sulfonate selectively a primary OH group in a molecule that also contains secondary or tertiary OH groups. The reaction with sulfonamides has been much less frequently used and is limited to N,N-disubstituted sulfonamides that is, R" may not be hydrogen. However, within these limits it is a useful reaction. The nucleophile in this case is actually R 0 . However, R" may be hydrogen (as well as alkyl) if the nucleophile is a phenol, so that the product is RS020Ar. Acidic catalysts are used in this case. Sulfonic acids have been converted directly to sulfonates by treatment with triethyl or trimethyl orthoformate HC(OR)3, without catalyst or solvent and with a trialkyl phosphite P(OR)3. ...

Nitrate and nitrite The nitrate and nitrite content of cheeses that have been treated with these salts can be determined by reduction with cadmium followed by reaction with sulfonamide and N-l,nap-hthylethylenediamine hydrochloride. This produces a colored compound that can be quantified spectro-photometrically. 

Although Beringer s arylations of aniline and piperidine resulted in poor yields, reactions with sulfonamides dehvered the N-arylated products in 50% yield under basic conditions [87]. McEwen found that arylation of sodium azide was facile at 80 °C in dioxane/water, delivering arylazides in excellent yields [88]. The chemoselective arylation of azides has been demonstrated with an luisymmetric polyfluorinated salt [90], and a computational study supports the ligand coupling pathway [32, 33]. 

In the synthesis of commercial sulfur-heterocycles two interesting reactions are used (i) diphenylamines may be connected by a sulfur bridge in the orfho-positions (ii) the amino grouping of sulfonamides undergoes condensation reactions with neighboring imino- and amide groups. 

Commercially important arenesulfonyl isocyanates are not directly accessible from the corresponding sulfonamides via phosgenation due to lack of reactivity or by-product formation at elevated temperatures. A convenient method for their preparation consists of the reaction of alkyl isocyanates with sulfonamides to produce mixed ureas which, upon phosgenation, yield a mixture of alkyl and arenesulfonyl isocyanates. The desired product can be obtained by simple distillation (16). Optionally, the oxalyl chloride route has been employed for the synthesis of arenesulfonyl isocyanate (87). 

General Reaction Chemistry of Sulfonic Acids. Sulfonic acids may be used to produce sulfonic acid esters, which are derived from epoxides, olefins, alkynes, aHenes, and ketenes, as shown in Figure 1 (10). Sulfonic acids may be converted to sulfonamides via reaction with an amine in the presence of phosphoms oxychloride [10025-87-3] POCl (H)- Because sulfonic acids are generally not converted directiy to sulfonamides, the reaction most likely involves a sulfonyl chloride intermediate. Phosphoms pentachlotide [10026-13-8] and phosphoms pentabromide [7789-69-7] can be used to convert sulfonic acids to the corresponding sulfonyl haUdes (12,13). The conversion may also be accompHshed by continuous electrolysis of thiols or disulfides in the presence of aqueous HCl [7647-01-0] (14) or by direct sulfonation with chlorosulfuric acid. Sulfonyl fluorides are typically prepared by direct sulfonation with fluorosulfutic acid [7789-21-17, or by reaction of the sulfonic acid or sulfonate with fluorosulfutic acid. Halogenation of sulfonic acids, which avoids production of a sulfonyl haUde, can be achieved under oxidative halogenation conditions (15). 

Aminoisoxazoles can be determined photometrically by reaction with sodium 1,2-naph-thoquinone-4-sulfonate and selective extraction of the resulting dye into CCI4 for absorbance measurements. This class of compound can be determined in the presence of sulfonamides, sulfanilamides, hydroxylamines and other select amines (74MI41610). 

Finally, attachment of a rather complex side chain to the para position of the benzene ring on the sulfonamide leads to the very potent, long-acting oral antidiabetic agent, glyburide (215). Preparation of this compound starts with the chlorosul-fonation of the acetamide of 3-phenethylamine (209). The resulting sulfonyl chloride (210) is then converted to the sulfonamide (211) and deacylated (212). Reaction with the salicylic acid derivative, 213, in the presence of carbodiimide affords the amide, 214. Condensation of that with cyclohexylisocyanate affords glyburide (215). ... 

In 2004, Alterman et al. apphed their cyanation protocol to the synthesis of N-(t-butyl)-3-(4-cyanobenzyl)-5-isobutylthiophene-2-sulfonamide [61]. Deprotection of the sulfonamide followed by carbamate formation via reaction with butyl chloroformate finally gave the target compoimd for biological evaluation as a selective angiotensin 11 AT2 receptor agonist (Scheme 65). The cyano derivative, however, showed only a low affinity for the AT2 receptor (Ki value >10 p,M). 

Feldman reported a route to dihydropyrroles, pyrroles, and indoles via the reaction of sulfonamide anions with alkynyliodonium triflates <96JOC5440>. Thus, upon nucleophilic addition of the anion of 91 to the p-carbon of the alkynyliodonium salt, the alkylidene carbene 92 is generated which can the undergo C-H insertion to the desired product 93. 

One interesting effect observed in these aziridination reactions was the increase in percentage ee with reaction time, both in homogeneous and heterogeneous phases [66]. The origin of this effect was thoroughly studied in a series of experiments that demonstrated that the aziridine products were able to react with sulfonamide byproducts and with nitrene donors, in the...

Reactions to sulfonamide antibiotics, ranging from mild (most common) to life-threatening (rare), occur in 2% to 4% of healthy patients, with rates as high as 60% in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). 

A-Protected amines were assembled on solid-phase via sulfonamide-based handle 58 (Scheme 27) [67]. Tertiary sulfonamides were generated upon reaction with allylic, benzylic and primary alcohols under Mitsu-nobu conditions. Secondary amines were released from the support using mild nucleophilic conditions such as treatment with thiophenol and potassium carbonate. 

The classic syntheses of the antibacterial sulfonamides involve reaction of the appropriate arylamine with an acid addition salt of p-amino-benzenesulfonyl chloride, or p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride followed by reduction. Chemical interest largely resides in preparation of the corresponding arylamines. For the synthesis of sulfacytine (134), N-ethyl uracil (131) was converted to its thioamide (132) by reaction with phosphorous pentasulfide. The newly introduced sulfur is then displaced with ammonia in methanol to give 133. Standard reactions complete...
