Novel aminobenzenesulfonamides as potential inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases

Abstract

A synthetic approach to N-[3-(hetero)aryl-3-oxoprop-1-yl]sulfonamides by N-alkylation of sulfanilamide with structurally diverse ketone Mannich base hydrochlorides is being reported. This scarcely explored synthetic strategy that involves aminomethylated ketones as starting materials has afforded novel compounds, potentially useful as inhibitors of carbonic anhydrases, with moderate to good yields.
