"Click, click, cyclize": a DOS approach to sultams utilizing vinyl sulfonamide linchpins

Org Lett. 2009 Feb 5;11(3):531-4. doi: 10.1021/ol802467f.

Abstract

A diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) strategy termed "Click, Click, Cyclize" is reported. This approach relies on functional group (FG) pairing between a vinyl sulfonamide and an array of functional groups to synthesize skeletally diverse sultams. Several FG pairing pathways on central tertiary vinyl sulfonamide linchpins have been developed including intramolecular Heck, aza-Michael, ring-closing enyne metathesis, Pauson-Khand, and chemoselective oxidation/Baylis-Hillman reactions.
