N(S)-Alkoxyethyl-substituted 5-aminonaphthalenesulfonamides 4 (ANSA) can be obtained by a sulfonylaziridine ring opening. 5-Nitro(or 5-benzyloxycarbonylamino)-1-naphthalenesulfonyl chloride (1) reacts with aziridine in triethylamine/methanol to give stable 5-substituted naphthalene-sulfonylaziridines 2 (NSAz) in high yields. The subsequent opening of the aziridine ring is achieved by short-term heating of 2 in an alcohol in the presence of a catalytic amount of acetic acid-boron trifluoride complex to give 3 in nearly quantitative yields. After deprotection [hydrogen bromide/acetic acid or hydrogen/-palladium for benzyloxyoxycarbonyl (Cbz), or hydrogen/palladium for nitro] ANSAs were obtained. ANSAs are used as the detectable group in fluorescent peptide substrates for protease determination.
