Efficient and Convenient Procedure for Preparation of N‐Sulfonylimines Catalyzed by Montmorillonite K‐10

A general and practical chemical route to the synthesis of N‐sulfonylimines using montmorillonite K‐10 as the catalyst is described. This method provides several advantages such as operational simplicity, short reaction time, using of inexpensive materials, noncorrosivity, lack of pollution, and high yields.     

Chiral N‐Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands Bearing a Pyridine Moiety for the Copper‐Catalyzed Alkylation of N‐Sulfonylimines with Dialkylzinc Reagents

Amino acid‐derived chiral imidazolium salts, each bearing a pyridine ring, were developed as N‐heterocyclic carbene ligands. The copper‐catalyzed asymmetric alkylation of various N‐sulfonylimines with dialkylzinc reagents in the presence of these chiral imidazolium salts afforded the corresponding alkylated products with high enantioselectivity (up to 99 % ee). The addition of HMPA to the reaction mixture as a co‐solvent is critical in terms of chemical yield and enantioselectivity. A wide range of N‐sulfonylimines and dialkylzinc reagents were found to be applicable to this reaction.     

Cascade rearrangement in the reaction of methyl trifluoropyruvate sulfonylimines with terminal alkynes

Methyl trifluoropyruvate benzene- and methanesulfonylimines react with hex-1-yne and phenylacetylene to give methyl N-sulfonyl-4-oxo-2-trifluoromethyl-4-R-but-2E-enimidates. The reaction mechanism includes the formation of a six-centered bipolar ion followed by its cascade rearrangement.
