Abstract:
A convenient method for the synthesis of N‐arylsulfonyl azetidines using N‐(3‐bromopropyl)‐arylsulfonamide with cesium carbonate and potassium iodide in DMF is reported. The reaction conditions are optimized and seven N‐arylsulfonyl azetidines have been synthesized in good yield using this method. The structures of compounds 2a and 2e were determined by X‐ray crystallography.
