An ew applicationo fP d-catalysed allylation is reported that enables the synthesis of ar ange of branched sp 3 -functionalised sulfonamides,acompound class for whichf ew reported methodse xist. [4] a-Substitution with alkyl groups can improve the bindingp roperties; [5] however,d espitet he wide interest in the exploitationof sulfonamides, many of the compounds reported bear sparse substitutionp atterns adjacent to the sulfonyl moiety.B earing this fact in mind, and in the context of the drive forl ate-stage molecular functionalisation, there has been ar ecenti nterest in the development of new methods for direct a-functionalisation of sulfonamides. The reactionw as performed under mild conditions and could be appliedt on anomolar sigma-receptor binders, thus enabling al ate-stage functionalisation and efficient expansion of drug-likec hemical space.
The difficulties in accessing non-planar "hard-to-make" chemical matter for incorporation into drug molecules have been well-enumerated, [1] and in some therapeutic areas these difficulties have significant consequences.
