Five-membered ring cyclic sulfamidate imines are versatile precursors for stereoselective heterocycle synthesis. Their reactivity as both electrophiles and nucleophiles enables the creation of complex, functionalized cyclic sulfamidates.
Area of Science:
- Organic Chemistry
- Synthetic Chemistry
- Heterocyclic Chemistry
Background:
- Five-membered ring cyclic sulfamidate imines (5H-1,2,3-oxathiazole 2,2-dioxides) are gaining prominence.
- These compounds feature a reactive N-sulfonyl imine within a stereodefined framework.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent advancements in the synthesis and reactivity of cyclic sulfamidate imines.
- To emphasize their utility in stereoselective synthetic processes.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing cyclic sulfamidate imines as substrates in nucleophilic additions and reductions.
- Exploiting the acidic protons adjacent to the imine moiety for nucleophilic participation.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated preparation of highly functionalized cyclic sulfamidates.
- Showcased the dual reactivity of cyclic sulfamidate imines as electrophiles and nucleophiles.
Conclusions:
- Cyclic sulfamidate imines are valuable building blocks for stereoselective synthesis.
- Their diverse reactivity facilitates the construction of complex heterocyclic structures.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
