“…72,73 The reactions of TCE with N,N-dichloroarenesulfonamides in the presence of Lewis acids (SnCl 4 , AlCl 3 ) also afford the sulfonylimines 2a ± c, which are formed, however, in lower yields (up to 47%); N-(1-arylsulfonylamino-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)arenesulfonamides are formed as side products. 74 It has been reported previously 23 that TCE reacts with N,Ndibromobenzenesulfamide or N,N-dibromourethane giving rise to the corresponding imines of 2-bromo-2,2-dichloroacetaldehyde BrCl 2 CCH=NSO 2 Ph and BrCl 2 CCH=NCOOMe.…”
