Aza-Michael addition of sulfonamides to Į,ȕ-unsaturated esters efficiently proceeds in the presence of catalytic amount of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) under microwave irradiation to afford N,N-dialkyl sulfonamides as biologically interesting compounds in good to excellent yields and short reaction times.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
