and transitionmetal-free conditions, a series of functionalized N-alkylated sulfonamides were prepared. This protocol also enabled the functionalization of pharmaceutical drugs bearing a sulfonamide or carboxylic acid moiety. This radical-mediated process allowed the assembly of three components including sulfonamides, redox active esters, and alkenes to yield complex sulfonamides in a one-pot manner

Select your group: Either a primary or tertiaryalkyl group can be selectively introduced onto the nitrogen atom of tosylamides in a ruthenium‐catalyzed reaction employing hydrosilanes through a judicious choice in the esters that serve as the alkylsource (see scheme; Ts= 4‐toluenesulfonyl). These N‐alkylation reactions are useful for construction of naturally occurring azacyclic skeletons.
