Abstract:
The chemoselectivity of halo(het)arene sulfonyl halide aminations is studied thoroughly under parallel synthesis conditions, and the scope and limitations of the method are established. It is shown that SNAr-reactive sulfonyl halides typically undergo sulfonamide synthesis during the first step; the second amination is also possible provided that the SNAr-active center is sufficiently reactive. On the contrary, sulfonyl fluorides bearing an arylating moiety undergo selective transformation at the latter reactive center under proper control. Further sulfur-fluoride exchange (SuFEx) is also possible, which can be especially valuable for some sulfonyl halide classes. The developed two-step parallel double amination protocol provides access to a 6.67-billion compound synthetically tractable REAL-type chemical space (76% expected synthesis success rate).

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
