Abstract
Reaction of methyl sulfinates with lithium amides followed by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid oxidation of the resulting sulfinamides provides primary, secondary, and tertiary alkane-, arene- and heteroarenesulfonamides in high yields. This constitutes a mild and facile experimental protocol that avoids the use of hazardous, unstable, or volatile reagents and does not affect the configurational stability of the amines
Key words
sulfonamides - oxidation - sulfinamides - methyl sulfinates - chemoselectivity

20 Reaction of 2p with MCPBA is very fast, but none of the resulting compounds could be isolated by chromatography, even using very polar solvents. MCPBA oxidation in media sufficiently acidic to protonate the pyridine nitrogen, was also unsuccessful.
21 Higher amounts of MCPBA were required, reactions are sluggish and the overall yields were lower.
