A solvent-free green synthesis of N-sulfonylformamidines is reported via the direct condensation of N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) and sulfonamide derivatives at room temperature.The described method avoids the use of metal catalysts as well as hazardous solvents, which are not permitted for pharmaceutical manufacture, for the reactions or isolation of products. Hence, the current work presents a fast and efficient alternative to earlier reported methods. The mild nature of the procedure is demonstrated by varied functional group tolerance. † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See
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.
