Sulfonylation of 14‐Diazabicyclo2.2.2octane: Charge‐Transfer Complex Triggered C−N Bond Cleavage

摘要

A novel charge‐transfer complex triggered sulfonylation of 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) with mild reaction conditions has been developed. The formation of a charge‐transfer complex between electron‐withdrawing (hetero)aryl sulfonyl chloride and DABCO allows the synthesis of N‐ethylated piperazine sulfonamide in good yields. The reaction has a high functional group tolerance. Spectroscopic studies confirmed the charge‐transfer complex formation between sulfonyl chlorides and DABCO, which facilitates the C−N bond cleavage of DABCO.
