Abstract

Chromium(III) acetate hydroxide has been found to be an efficient catalyst for N-dealkylation of N-alkyl sulfonamides and N,N-dialkyl sulfonamides to furnish sulfonamides in good to excellent yields with periodic acid in acetonitrile at room temperature.

Key words

N-dealkylation - N-alkyl sulfonamide - N,N-dialkyl sulfonamide - periodic acid - chromium(III) acetate hydroxide

Typical Procedure for Dealkylation of N -Alkyl-sulfonamides and N , N -Dialkylsulfonamides with Periodic Acid-Chromium(III) Acetate Hydroxide: A mixture of H₅IO₆ (4.6 g, 20 mmol), chromium(III) acetate hydroxide [11 mg, 2.5 mol% of Cr(III)] and N,N-dialkyl sulfonamide (2 mmol) in MeCN (50 mL) was stirred at r.t. until the reaction was complete (monitored by TLC). The intermediate monodealkylation products of the dialkylsulfonamides can be observed by TLC during the reaction. The reaction mixture was then filtered and the filtrate was concentrated by rotary evaporation. The residue was extracted with EtOAc (120 mL), washed, respectively, with sat. NaHCO₃ solution, sat. Na₂S₂O₃ solution, brine and dried over MgSO₄. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and the resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with EtOAc-hexanes (1:8) to afford the pure unsubstituted sulfonamides (¹H NMR, mp).
