The reaction of acetylides with sulfonyl azides was found to selectively form 1,5-substituted sulfonyl triazoles. This reaction thus provides access to the regioisomeric product as compared to the popular copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The reaction is efficient and selective with a variety of alkyne sources and sulfonyl azides and can incorporate an additional electrophile to yiel...

The generation of sulfonyl radicals from sulfonyl azides using visible light and a photoactive iridium complex in THF is described. This process was used to promote sulfonylative and azidosulfonylative cyclizations of enynes to give several classes of highly functionalized heterocycles. The use of THF as the solvent is critical for successful reactions. The proposed mechanism of radical initiat...

Imidazole-1-sulfonyl azide hydrochloride, an inexpensive and effective diazotransfer reagent, was recently found to be impact sensitive. To identify safer-to-handle forms of this reagent, several different salts of imidazole-1-sulfonyl azide were prepared, and their sensitivity to heat, impact, friction, and electrostatic discharge was quantitatively determined. A number of these salts exhibite...

A silver-catalyzed intermolecular aminosulfonylation of terminal alkynes with sodium sulfinates and TMSN3 is reported. This three-component reaction proceeds through sequential hydroazidation of the terminal alkyne and addition of a sulfonyl radical to the resultant vinyl azide. The method enables the stereoselective synthesis of a wide range of β-sulfonyl enamines without electron-withdrawing ...

A novel and straightforward synthetic protocol for the efficient construction of 3',5'-dihydro-1H-spiro[benzo[d]oxepine-2,4'-imidazoles] through a copper(I)-catalyzed reaction between 2-(2-ethynylphenyl)oxirane, sulfonyl azide, and 2-isocyanoacetate is described.

The azidation of glutathione (GSH)-functionalized ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (2 nm) by the azide transfer reagent imidazole-1-sulfonyl hydrogen sulfate leads to azide-terminated with high yield. A subsequent copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), i. e. a click reaction, covalently functionalized nanoparticles. This was demonstrated two alkyne-functionalized dyes, FAM-alkyne and...

A three-component reaction of (E)-2-ethynylphenylchalcone, sulfonyl azide, and amine catalyzed by copper(I) chloride (5 mol%), in the presence of triethylamine, under mild conditions is described. This transformation proceeds efficiently to generate 1,2-dihydroisoquinolin-3(4H)-imines in good to excellent yields.

Heat and shock sensitive tosyl azide was generated and used on demand in a telescoped diazo transfer process. Small quantities of tosyl azide were accessed in a 'one pot' batch procedure using shelf stable, readily available reagents. For large scale diazo transfer reactions tosyl azide was generated and used in a telescoped flow process, to mitigate the risks associated with handling potential...

We describe the development of a new methodology focusing on 11C-labeling of sulfonyl carbamates in a multicomponent reaction comprised of a sulfonyl azide, an alkyl alcohol, and [11C]CO. A number of 11C-labeled sulfonyl carbamates were synthesized and isolated, and the developed methodology was then applied in the preparation of a biologically active molecule. The target compound was obtained ...

In the title compound, C(11)H(8)N(6)O(4)S, the plane of the coumarin aromatic ring is twisted by 17.2 (2)° with respect to the plane of the azide group bound to the methyl-ene substituent, whereas it is twisted by 83.2 (2)° to the plane of the azide attached to the sulfonyl group. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, leading to the formation of dimers with R(2) (2)(1...
