Oxidative sulfamidation of vinyl silanes: A route to diverse silylated N-Heterocycles
Abstract
Abstract The reaction of trimethyl(vinyl)silane 1 and dimethyl(divinyl)silane 2 with various sulfonamides in the oxidative system (tert-BuOCl\xa0+\xa0NaI) has been studied and shown to be an efficient approach for the synthesis of silylated N-heterocycles. Triflamide demonstrated the reactivity principally different from that of arenesulfonamides. With silane 1, it afforded the products of iodochlorination and bis(triflamidation) (major), whereas arenesulfonamides gave N-arenesulfonylaziridines in up to 91% yield. Silane 2 with arenesulfonamides yielded the products of mono and bis(iodochlorination), mono and bis(aziridination), and 3,5-diiodo-4,4-dimethyl-1-(arylsulfonyl)-1,4-azasilinanes. By contrast, triflamide, apart from the products of halogenation and iodotriflamidation, unexpectedly gave 3-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-5-(triflamido)oxazolidine as the main product. The structure of most heterocyclic products is proved by X-ray analysis. The effect of the silyl group in the substrate and of the substituent in the reagent on the course of oxidative sulfamidation is discussed by comparing with all-carbon analogues.
