“…Recently, we put much attention to the reactivity of different diazosulfonamides (Scheme 1b) [24,25], and realized the rhodium- and copper-catalyzed intramolecular aromatic 1,5-C-H insertion of N,N -diaryl diazomethanesulfonamides with the ethoxycarbonyl group (ethyl 2-( N,N -diarylsulfamoyl)-2-diazoacetates) to prepare ethyl 1-aryl-1,3-dihydrobenzo[ c ]isothiazole-3-carboxylate 2,2-dioxides ( N -aryl-3-ethoxycarbonyl benzo-γ-sultams) (R = OEt, Scheme 1b) [24]. We also achieved the copper-catalyzed intramolecularly aromatic 1,5-C-H insertion of N -alkyl- N -aryl diazomethanesulfonamides 1 with the acetyl and benzoyl groups to synthesize 1-alkyl-3-acetyl/benzoyl-2,2-dioxido-1,3-dihydrobenzo[ c ]isothiazoles (R = Me, Ph, Scheme 1b) [25]. For the N -alkyldiazomethanesulfonamides with acetyl, benzoyl, and ethoxycarbonyl groups, the aliphatic C-H insertions, including 1,4-, 1,5-, and 1,6-insertions, of the N -alkyl groups on the sulfonamide moiety were not observed [24,25].…”
