Popis: Sulfonamides have many important biological applications, yet their synthesis often involves long reaction times under dry and non-ambient conditions. Here we report the synthesis of a large range of sulfonamides at room temperature using 4-nitrophenyl benzylsulfonate as a starting material. Sulfonamides were prepared from a wide range of aliphatic, linear, and cyclic amines, anilines, and N-methylanilines. The yields and reaction times observed here were comparable to or better than those reported previously, establishing sulfur-phenolate exchange as a viable alternative.
