Photoredox-Catalyzed Generation of Sulfamyl Radicals: Sulfonamidation of Enol Silyl Ether with Chlorosulfonamide

J Org Chem. 2019 Nov 1;84(21):13897-13907. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.9b02062. Epub 2019 Oct 23.

Abstract

A novel and practical photoredox-catalyzed generation of sulfamyl radicals followed by radical sulfonamidation of enol silyl ether has been described. Diverse functionalized β-ketosulfonamides were prepared in modest to excellent yields under mild and economic reaction conditions through the present catalytic protocol. Furthermore, the methodology developed provides an efficient and convenient approach to the synthesis of the antiseizure drug Zonisamide.
