A catalyst‐free, charge‐transfer complex promoted coupling of sulfonyl chlorides with vicinal tertiary diamines to generate sulfonamides is presented. Mechanistic studies showed that these reactions are proceeded via charge transfer of vicinal tertiary diamines to sulfonyl chlorides, forming the unstable sulfonyl quaternary ammonium like complexes which induced the regiospecific intramolecular C−N

A visiblelight photocatalytic debenzylative sulfonylation of tertiary benzylamines is described, affording a series of sulfonamides in high yields. This operationally simple transformation showed high functional group compatibility and wide substrate scope.
A new and convenient method for the construction of sulfonamides via a copper-catalyzed oxidative coupling between sodium sulfinates and amines with 1 atm O2 or DMSO as the oxidant was described. This method provides efficient and robust synthesis of functional sulfonamides in good yields and excellent chemoselectivity. And detailed mechanistic studies showed that this transformation may go through a single electron transfer (SET) pathway.
