Selectfluor®-enabled photochemical selective C(sp3)-H(sulfonyl)amidation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Dec 22;59(1):118-121. doi: 10.1039/d2cc05569d.

Abstract

Transition metal- and photosensitizer-free C(sp3)-H (sulfonyl)amidation reactions have been realized by employing Selectfluor® as a versatile reagent, functioning as a photoactive component, a HAT precursor and an oxidant. Various toluene derivatives, cycloalkanes, natural products and bioactive molecules can be converted into N-containing products under mild conditions in good yield and with high chemo- and site-selectivity.
