Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Sep 28:(36):4291-3. doi: 10.1039/b805783d. Epub 2008 Aug 5.

Abstract

Benzylic and allylic hydrocarbons are selectively converted to the corresponding sulfonamides by a ZnBr2-H2O-catalyzed reaction with PhI=NTs; saturated adamantane is aminosulfonated at the tertiary C-H bond.
