Synthesis of 2,5-Disubstituted Pyrrolidines from N-Alkenyl and Alkynyl N-Benzoyloxy sulfonamides Catalyzed by (CuOTf)2·C6H6

  • 1. Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (Singapore)

Description

A new synthetic method of 2,5-disubstituted pyrrolidines is developed by the cyclization of unsaturated N-benzoyloxy sulfonamides by (CuOTf)2·C6H6 in refluxing dichloroethane. Various N-4- and N-5-alkenyl and alkynyl N-benzoyloxy sulfonamides are cyclized to give pyrrolidines. The cyclization proceeds via addition of sulfonamidoyl radicals to intramolecular unsaturated bonds or allylic hydrogen abstraction with the radical intermediates
