Iodine-mediated aminosulfonylation of alkenyl sulfonamides with sulfonyl hydrazides: synthesis of sulfonylmethyl piperidines, pyrrolidines and pyrazolines.

An aminosulfonylation of alkenyl sulfonamides was reported. Using iodine as the catalyst, TBHP as the oxidant, and sulfonyl hydrazides as the sulfonyl radical sources, a variety of sulfonylmethyl piperidines, pyrrolidines and pyrazolines were obtained in moderate to excellent yields.

Metal-free oxysulfonylation and aminosulfonylation of alkenyl oximes: synthesis of sulfonylated isoxazolines and cyclic nitrones.

Intramolecular oxysulfonylation of alkenyl oximes was reported. Using iodine as the catalyst, TBHP as the oxidant, and sulfonyl hydrazides as the sulfonyl radical source, a variety of sulfonylated isoxazolines were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. Cyclic nitrones could also be readily obtained under the same conditions.
