Elektrostatische Aktivierung der SNAr-Reaktivität durch Sulfonyloniosubstituenten/Electrostatic Activation of SNAr-Reactivity by Sulfonylonio Substituents

Abstract

Abstract 4-Fluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (1) and pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride (2) are transformed into the corresponding N-sulfonylpyridinium triflates 4a-d by treatment with one equivalent of the reagent pair L/TMSOTf (L = 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), 4-ferf-butylpyridine (TBUPY), 1-methylimidazole (NMI); TMSOTf = trimethylsilyl triflate). Due to the electrostatic effect of the sulfonylonio function, SNAr reactions on these systems can be performed under mild conditions. So the reaction of 2 with excess DMAP/TMSOTf leads by way of peronio substitution to hexakis[(4-dimethylamino)-l-pyridinio]benzene hexa-kis(trifluoromethansulfonate) (7) [22] at room temperature. Additionally, a new reaction path to 4-(1-pyridinio)-substituted benzenesulfonamides, a class of pharmaceutically interesting substances, is shown.
