Arene- and alkanesulfonamides were prepared by treatment of the corresponding sodium sulfonates with triphenylphosphine dibromide or dichloride followed by amines in the presence of triethylamine via sulfonyl halides. Reactions of sodium aminosulfonates gave cyclized products. Amidation of p-toluenesulfonic acid with triphenylphosphine dichloride was also examined to give N-benzyl-p-toluenesulfonamide. Methyl p-toluenesulfonate was obtained by esterification of sodium p-toluenesulfonate via p-toluenesulfonyl chloride.
