Manganese dioxide catalyzed N-alkylation of sulfonamides and amines with alcohols under air

Org Lett. 2011 Dec 2;13(23):6184-7. doi: 10.1021/ol202582c. Epub 2011 Oct 31.

Abstract

By simply running the reactions under air and solvent-free conditions using catalytic amounts of manganese dioxide, a practical and efficient N-alkylation method for a variety of sulfonamides and amines using alcohols as green alkylating reagents was developed.
