“…The reactivity profile of cyclic sulfamidates is comparable to those of activated aziridines and azetidines. , Several added advantages of using cyclic sulfamidates are to be mentioned, such as more regiospecific ring opening, related to the higher reactivity of the C–O bond, no significant reliance on ring strain since activation toward nucleophilic attack is “in-built”, and finally no requirement for the presence (and subsequent removal) of an additional activating substituent on the nitrogen. , This makes cyclic sulfamidates of special interest in organic chemistry because of their key role as intermediates in the synthesis of numerous products having heteroatomic functional groups. Five-membered cyclic sulfamidates find, among others, application as excellent chiral building blocks for the synthesis of α-methylated β-amino acids, ,,, radiolabeled amino acids, sequence-defined macromolecules, for the selective modification of sulfamidate-containing peptides, as vehicles for the synthesis of substituted lactams , or as precursors to serine derivatives, thiomorpholines, piperazines, and N-heterocycles. , Based on this wide range of practical applications, these molecule classes are widely used throughout the academia and fine chemical industries. Within the pharmaceutical sector, cyclic sulfamidates are typically used as chiral building blocks. − They have been notably employed for the preparation of an enantiopure intermediate toward levofloxacin or as the lactam precursor for the synthesis of (−)-aphanorphine, which incorporates a scaffold close to a benzomorphan analgesic (Figure ).…”
