Sulfonimidates An accessible Synthesis of N-tosyl O-alkyl Sulfonimidates From Sulfinate Esters, Using Chloramine-T By Daniel Savino
Background • Sulfonimidates are alkylating agents -R2
Background • Sulfonimidates are difficult to synthesize Leca, D., Fensterbank, L., Lacote, E., Malacria, M.. Org. Lett.; (Communication); 2002; 4(23); 4093-4095
Concept • Sulfinate esters can be attacked (nucleophilic?) by chloramine-T Εικόνα από τη βιβλιοθήκη Savino
Simplicity Itself • Sulfinate ester + chloramine-T in CH2Cl2 (dropwise add’n) • Stir ~10 min. • Filter, rotovap, wash/rotovap and Kugelrohr. • Done! • Total time… ~2 hours
Results • 76.6% yield • IR – Lack of sulfonamide peaks • NMR – Appropriate methyl peak for tosyl, diastereotopic triplet for the O-ethyl CH3
