Abstract
We have developed a transition-metal-free photocatalytic S–N coupling reaction utilizing sodium organosulfinate and hydroxamic acid to synthesize acylsulfonamides. Employing 2,3,5,6-tetra(9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzonitrile (4CzBN) as a photocatalyst, this method enables the preparation of a wide range of acylsulfonamides from arylhydroxamic acids or N-hydroxycarbamates. Mechanistic studies indicate that the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) via the Energy Transfer Process (EnT) is crucial for facilitating the reaction. This approach offers a sustainable and efficient pathway for acylsulfonamide synthesis under mild conditions.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
