Solvent‐Free, Metal‐Free, Aza‐Prins Cyclization: Unprecedented Access to δ‐Sultams

Abstract

Aza-Prins and the pauper: Aza-Prins cyclization between γ,δ-unsaturated tosylamines and aldehydes was successfully performed under solvent-free and metal-free conditions. When applied to β,γ-unsaturated sulfonamides, the corresponding δ-sultams were isolated in good yields (see scheme). This approach constitutes a new route to cyclic sulfonamides.
