An ecofriendly and practical method for the efficient synthesis of various sulfonylated N-heteroaromatics in water under metal-free, organic-solvent-free, neutral, and mild reaction conditions was developed. The employment of readily available reagents, wide substrate scope, high chemoselectivity, and regioselectivity make this protocol very practical. Importantly, the pure products can be easily obtained via filtration and washing by alcohol without extraction and recrystallization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
