Sulfonic acid amides halides

Although perfluorocarbon sulfonic acid groups are very stable chemically as well as thermally, perfluorocarbon sulfonyl halide, especially sulfonyl chloride groups, are quite reactive. For example, sulfonyl chloride groups react with oxidants, reductants, various amines, phenol compounds, iodine compounds, etc. and give carboxylic acid, sulfinic acid, sulfonic acid amide, -CF2I and so forth. Some examples of how this feature can be used to generate various kinds of membranes will next be described... 

Sulfonic acid amides from sulfonic acid halides... 

Amides are very weak nucleophiles, far too weak to attack alkyl halides, so they must first be converted to their conjugate bases. By this method, unsubstituted amides can be converted to N-substituted, or N-substituted to N,N-disubstituted, amides. Esters of sulfuric or sulfonic acids can also be substrates. Tertiary substrates give elimination. O-Alkylation is at times a side reaction. Both amides and sulfonamides have been alkylated under phase-transfer conditions. Lactams can be alkylated using similar procedures. Ethyl pyroglutamate (5-carboethoxy 2-pyrrolidinone) and related lactams were converted to N-alkyl derivatives via treatment with NaH (short contact time) followed by addition of the halide. 2-Pyrrolidinone derivatives can be alkylated using a similar procedure. Lactams can be reductively alkylated using aldehydes under catalytic hydrogenation... 

As illustrated by the examples in Table 3.9, resin-bound 4-alkoxybenzylamides often require higher concentrations of TFA and longer reaction times than carboxylic acids esterified to Wang resin. For this reason, the more acid-sensitive di- or (trialkoxy-benzyl)amines [208] are generally preferred as backbone amide linkers. The required resin-bound, secondary benzylamines can readily be prepared by reductive amination of resin-bound benzaldehydes (Section 10.1.4 and Figure 3.17 [209]) or by A-alkyla-tion of primary amines with resin-bound benzyl halides or sulfonates (Section 10.1.1.1). Sufficiently acidic amides can also be A-alkylated by resin-bound benzyl alcohols under Mitsunobu conditions (see, e.g., [210] attachment to Sasrin of Fmoc cycloserine, an O-alkyl hydroxamic acid). 

Cyanoborohydride and its modified reagents have been used for reductive dehalogenations. Thus, the combination of sodium or tetrabutylammonium cyanoborohydride, sodium or potassium 9-cyano-9-hydro-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanate [9-BBNCN] (2) or polymeric cyanoborane (3) in HMPA furnishes an efficient and mild system for the reduction of alkyl halides. The reagents are selective in that other functional groups, including ester, carboxylic acid, amide, cyano, alkene, nitro, sulfone, ketone, aldehyde and epoxide, are essentially inert under the reduction conditions thus, the reduction procedure is attractive for synthetic schemes which demand minimum damage to sensitive portions of the molecule. 

Sulfonyl chlorides as well as esters and amides of sulfonic acids can be hydrolyzed to the corresponding acids. Sulfonyl chlorides can by hydrolyzed with water or with an alcohol in the absence of acid or base. Basic catalysis is also used, though of course the salt is the product obtained. Esters are readily hydrolyzed, many with water or dilute alkali. This is the same reaction as 10-4, and usually involves R —O cleavage, except when R is aryl. However, in some cases retention of configuration has been shown at alkyl R, indicating S—O cleavage in these cases. Sulfonamides are generally not hydrolyzed by alkaline treatment, not even with hot concentrated alkali. Acids, however, do hydrolyze sulfonamides, but less readily than they do sulfonyl halides or sulfonic esters. Of course, ammonia or the amine appears as the salt. However, sulfonamides can be hydrolyzed with base if the solvent is HMPA. ... 

Sulfonyl halides (e.g. benzenesulfonyl chloride) form adducts (11) with acid amides in an equilibrium reaction. From these adducts or via adducts of this type 0-sulfonated lactim ethers, isonitriles, adenine, nitriles, amidines, amidinium salts and formic acid esters were prepared. The adducts from DMF and chlorosulfonamides (12) can be used to prepare amidines or amidrazones. A/-Chlorosulfonylcarboxylic acid amides yield nitriles on treatment with DMF or other tertiary amides, presumably via an acid amide sulfonyl chloride complex (13 equation 3). ... 

The alkylation of amides by alkyl halides or simple sulfonic acid esters is usually of little importance because the alkylation equilibrium is placed on the side of the starting compounds. This is not the case, however, in either the alkylation of vinylogous amides (which has been achieved even with alkyl iodides ) or if intramolecular alkylation is possible, e.g. in -(2-haloethyl)amides. In the latter case cyclic iminium compounds (81 equation 51) are readily available by replacing the more nucleophilic halide by less nucleophilic complex anions, which can be achieved by addition of Lewis acids or AgBF4. °-2 ... 

Successful partition chromatography requires a proper balance of intermolecular forces among the three participants in the separation process—the analyte, the mobile phase, and the stationary phase. These intermoleculai forces are described qualitatively in terms of the relative polarity possessed by each of the three components. In general, the polai ities of common organic functional groups in increasing order are aliphatic hydrocarbons < olefins < aromatic hydrocarbons < halides < sulfides < ethers < nitro compounds < esters = aldehydes = ketones < alcohols = amines < sulfones < sulfoxides < amides < carboxylic acids < water. 

A-Phosphorylated imidazoles and benzimidazoles can be made by direct phosphorylation by halides, esters, amides, amidoesters, isocyanates, and thiocyanates of phosphorus-containing acids, or from reaction of phosphonic or phosphinic imidazolides with a sulfonic acid or anhydride <82CB1636>. Stable charge transfer complexes are produced when a 1 1 or 1 2 ratio of imidazole (or benzimidazole) and sulfur trioxide are refluxed in ether, dioxane, THE, or 1,2-dichloroethane. These complexes are stable on storage in the absence of water and have sharp melting points. Indeed, the benzimidazole SO3 complex must be boiled for five hours in water to decompose it. On fusion, the complexes form the C-sulfonic acids (see Section 3.02.5.3.3) <87CHE1084>. Sulfonyl chlorides readily A-sulfonate imidazoles <94JMC332>.
