The crystal and molecular structure of N-(methylsulfonyl)-N-(2,6)-(dimethylphenyl)methanesulfonamide

The title compound, crystallizes in the triclinic space group witha=8.232(4),b=9.159(2),c=10.230(3)Å. =74.07(3)°, =72.50(4)°, =63.65(3)° andZ=2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full matrix least squares methods toR=0.054 for 1817 observed reflections. The plane containing the nitrogen and sulfur atoms is perpendicular to the aromatic plane. One of the S–O bonds in each methanesulfonyl group is in nearly eclipsed conformation with the N–C bond.     

Synthesis, characterization of aluminum complexes and the application in ring-opening polymerization of l-lactide

Aluminum complexes supported by a sulfonamide/Shiff base ligand are described. Reaction of AlMe₃ with 1 equiv of ligand 1, gives methyl aluminum complex 2, and aluminum complex 3 is prepared by the reaction of complex 2 with 1 equiv of benzyl alcohol. Experimental results show that complex 3 is an efficient initiator for the ring-opening polymerization of lactide in controlled fashion, yielding polymers with expectative molecular weight and low polydispersity indexes. Furthermore, the complex 3 has isotactic selectivity for the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide.     

Sulfonamide imprinted polymers using co-functional monomers

Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) prepared using combination of acrylamide (ACM) and 4-vinylpyridine (4-Vpy) as co-functional monomers exhibited efficient recognition properties in both organic and aqueous media as HPLC stationary phase. The results indicate that amide and pyridine groups in functional monomers formed strong hydrogen-bonding interaction with the template molecule, and specific recognition sites were created within the polymer matrix during the imprinting process. When sulfamethoxazole (SMO) was used as template, a MIP prepared in a polar organic solvent (acetonitrile) using the combination of ACM and 4-Vpy showed better recognition of template than the polymer prepared in the same solvent using the combination of acidic monomer (methacrylic acid) and basic monomer 4-Vpy. On the contrary, when sulfamethazine (SMZ) was used as template, a MIP prepared using the combination of methacrylic acid (MAA) and 4-Vpy showed better recognition of template than the polymer prepared using the combination of ACM and 4-Vpy. Our results indicate that in organic media the degree of retention of the sample molecules on the imprinted polymers was controlled by the hydrogen-bonding interaction between the sample molecules and the polymer, while in aqueous media it was determined to a considerable extent by hydrophobic interactions. In both media the shape, size and the electronic structure of the template molecule were all-important factors in the recognition process.     

A new and efficient method for the facile synthesis of N-acyl sulfonamides under Lewis acid catalysis

The N-acylation of sulfonamides with carboxylic acid anhydrides in the presence of Lewis acids is described. Several Lewis acids such as BF₃·Et₂O, ZnCl₂, MoCl₅, TiCl₄, B(C₆F₅)₃, Sc(OTf)₃ and I₂ were found to catalyze the reaction efficiently to furnish the N-acylated products in good yields under solvent-free conditions. The reactions of various sulfonamides were studied with different carboxylic acid anhydrides including the less reactive benzoic and pivalic anhydrides, in the presence of 3 mol % ZnCl₂ as the catalyst. Carboxylic acids were also successfully used as acylating agents via the mixed anhydride method.
