Popis: A wide range of five- and six-membered sultams bearing an α-ethoxycarbonyl-α-methyl substituent or an α-aryl group (17 examples) were synthesized by the cyclodialkylation of α-substituted methanesulfonanilides with α,ω-dihaloalkanes in the presence of K2CO3 or under phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions. Upon treatment with K2CO3 in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or NaH in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-(2,3-dibromopropyl)-α-toluenesulfonanilides furnished different 1,3-diaryl-2-thia-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane 2,2-dioxides in good to excellent yields (51–88 %, 16 examples). The 4-methoxyphenyl (PMP) group was easily removed from the sultam nitrogen atom by treatment of the corresponding bicyclic sultams with cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate in acetonitrile (71–84 % yield, 6 examples).
