Copper(I) Halide Mediated Tandem 1,4-Aryl Migration-Oxidative Amidyl Radical Cyclisation of Bromosulfonamides
Publication History
Publication Date:
22 December 2009 (online)
Abstract
Reaction of N-butyl-N-(2-bromo-2-methylpropionyl)-arylsulfonamides with CuBr/tripyridylamine leads to amidyl radicals via 1,4-aryl migration with concomitant loss of SO2, which can further undergo cyclisation to oxindoles or reduction to amides with the ratio dependent upon the temperature and solvent utilised.
Key words
copper - radical reactions - rearrangement - tandem reactions - sulfonamides

A typical procedure is illustrated for reaction of 1b with CuBr (entry 2, Table [¹] ). Substrate 1b (0.3 mmol) was added to dry CH2Cl2 (2 mL), and CuBr (0.33 mmol) and tripyridylamine (0.33 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was heated at 40 ˚C for 18 h. Upon cooling, the crude mixture was passed through a small silica plug (eluting with EtOAc, 20 mL to remove copper residues). After evaporation of the solvent and chromatography (PE-EtOAc, 8:1) a mixture of amide 3b and oxindole 8b were isolated in the ratio of 1.4:1.0, combined yield 78%. Spectroscopic data for 3b were identical to an authentic sample prepared previously²,9 and data for 8b were identical to that reported above.¹4
