Int.·Ed 2014, 54 The unique reactivity and broad application potential of N-sulfonyl fluorides (9430.) have attracted much attention in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and chemical biology. N-sulfonyl fluorides are stable in air at room temperature and react efficiently with a variety of nucleophiles. These compounds exhibit potential biological activity in medicinal chemistry and are also important intermediates in the synthesis of complex molecules.
[0003] Currently, the synthetic methods for N-sulfonyl fluoride compounds include: 1. Substitution reaction between fluoride anions and N-sulfonyl chlorides; 2. Substitution reaction between amine compounds and highly toxic gaseous sulfuryl fluoride; 3. Substitution reaction between amine compounds and pre-prepared aniline disulfonyl fluoride (AISF). Org. Lett. 2018, 20 , 812.) undergo substitution reactions; 4. Amine compounds react with pre-prepared sulfonylfluoroimidazole salts ( Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2017, 57 , 2605.) undergo substitution reactions, etc.; 5. Fluorosulfonyl N-pyridine salt (FSAPor PNSF, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024, 63 , e202405944; ACS Catal. 2024, 14 , 12082; Org. Lett. 2024, 26 The free radical fluorosulfonamide reaction of , 6714.
[0004] However, methods 1 and 2 suffer from low reaction efficiency, difficulty in operation, and high risk. Methods 3–5 have a limited substrate range, and the synthesis of reagents still requires the use of highly toxic gaseous sulfuryl fluoride or fluorine gas. Due to regulatory reasons, sulfuryl fluoride gas is difficult to obtain in many countries and regions worldwide, and the use of fluorine gas is extremely dangerous.

This application generates an intermediate by reacting an amine compound with a chlorine source, and then adds a sulfur dioxide source and a fluorine source in a one-pot reaction without separating the intermediate to generate N-sulfonyl fluoride compounds. This simplifies the preparation steps of N-sulfonyl fluoride compounds and reduces the difficulty of preparing them. 2. This application creatively utilizes the nitrogen-chlorine reactive intermediate generated by the reaction of amine compounds with a chlorine source for sulfonyl fluorination reaction. The reaction efficiency of amines with chlorine sources is high, and the applicable substrate types are diverse. Therefore, this method can be applied to more types of amine substrates, including primary (alkyl / aromatic) amines, secondary (alkyl / aromatic) amines, amides, nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic rings, etc. 3. The nitrogen-chlorine intermediate generated by the reaction of amine compounds with a chlorine source in this application exhibits high reactivity. Under heating conditions, it can undergo homolytic cleavage to generate nitrogen and chlorine radicals, or under photocatalytic conditions, it can undergo single-electron reduction cleavage to generate nitrogen radicals and chloride anions. The nitrogen radicals are highly reactive and can be captured by the sulfur dioxide source in the reaction system, then combine with chlorine radicals or undergo photocatalytic oxidation to form highly reactive sulfonyl chloride or sulfonyl DABCO cationic intermediates. Subsequently, fluoride ions undergo nucleophilic substitution to generate the corresponding sulfonyl fluoride target product. The nitrogen-chlorine intermediate does not need to be separated, mainly because the efficient reaction of amine compounds with the chlorine source reduces the residue of amine compounds and minimizes their impact on subsequent reactions.

[0057] Testing and Inspection (1) The target products of Examples 1-21 1 HNMR, 13 CNMR and yield are shown in Table 1 below.
[0058] Table 1:
[0059] Results Analysis The following detailed description of this application is based on the experimental results provided in Table 1.
[0060] According to Table 1 1 H NMR and 13 C18 NMR results confirm that the N-sulfonyl fluoride compounds obtained in Examples 1-21 of this application are the corresponding target products. This demonstrates that the preparation method of this application avoids the use of traditional, cumbersome, and toxic synthetic steps through a one-pot reaction, successfully synthesizing N-sulfonyl fluoride compounds as high-value SuFEx (sulfur-fluorine exchange) hubs for click chemical linkages or precisely controlled polymerization of bioactive molecular fragments.
[0061] Referring to Table 1, the yields of N-sulfonyl fluoride compounds in Examples 1, 4-7, 11-12, 14-18, and 21 were all higher than 60%. This is attributed to the rapid binding rate of nitrogen free radicals to sulfur dioxide during the preparation process, which minimizes the likelihood of other side reactions. In contrast, the yields of N-sulfonyl fluoride compounds in Examples 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 13, 19, and 20 were lower than 60%. This is attributed to the tendency of the corresponding nitrogen free radicals to undergo partial hydrogen atom transfer reactions, generating amine compounds as the reactant.
[0062] Referring to Table 1, Examples 1-18 are applicable to heating conditions, and reactions can also occur under light conditions. Examples 19-21 use light-induced reactions to minimize the occurrence of side reactions due to instability of the nitrogen-chlorine intermediates of the corresponding primary alkylamines in the raw materials under heating conditions.
[0063] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
