“…Until now, some powerful synthetic methods for the generation of sultam derivatives have been developed. These routes include several transition metal-catalyzed reactions that afforded sultams, Friedel–Craft reactions, ring-closing metathesis (RCM), cyclizations of aminosulfonyl chlorides, [3 + 2] cycloadditions, both Diels–Alder and Heck reactions, and both intramolecular oxa-Michael and Baylis–Hillman reactions . However, most sultam cyclization reactions above have been carried out in toxic organic solvents and complex procedures are needed to make compound libraries.…”
