Ns strategies: a highly versatile synthetic method for amines
2004
Kan, Toshiyuki | Fukuyama, Tohru
A highly efficient and versatile synthetic method for amines was established using nitrobenzenesulfonamides (Ns-amides) as both a protecting and activating group. The alkylation of N-monosubstituted Ns-amides either proceeded conventionally or under Mitsunobu conditions to provide the N,N-disubstituted sulfonamides, and the Ns group was removed easily with soft nucleophiles via Meisenheimer complexes to give the corresponding secondary amines. The major advantage of this protocol is that both alkylation and deprotection proceed under mild conditions. Thus, with this methodology, the total synthesis of linear and/or macrocyclic natural polyamines can be accomplished efficiently.
