Metal-Free Direct Construction of Sulfonamides via Iodine-Mediated Coupling Reaction of Sodium Sulfinates and Amines at Room Temperature

摘要

A simple, practical, and metal-free protocol has been developed for the synthesis of sulfonamides from sodium sulfinates and various amines through an iodine-mediated S-N bond formation reaction at room temperature. This green reaction is cost-effective, operationally straightforward, and especially proceeds under very mild conditions to afford the target products in good to excellent yields (up to 98%).
