Abstract

A new type of diazo compounds, namely, CH-diazomethane sulfonamides (generated in situ from readily available α-acetyl-α-diazomethane sulfonamides), was employed in a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with imines (also formed in situ from primary amines and aldehydes). The reaction gave hitherto undescribed 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoline-4-sulfonamides, which were obtained in good to excellent yields with complete trans diastereoselectivity. These new sulfonamides based on the nonaromatic 1,2,3-triazoline core are rather attractive from a medicinal chemistry standpoint in light of the strong emphasis recently put on the nonflat, more saturated (higher Fsp3) scaffolds for lead-generation libraries. The oxidative aromatization of 1,2,3-triazoline-4-sulfonamides by manganese(IV) oxide gave nearly quantitative yields of 1,2,3-triazole-4-sulfonamides, of which only two examples have been reported in the literature.
