New synthetic approach to phenylmethanesulfonamide derivatives on the basis of Phenyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)-methanesulfonamide

The reaction of N,N-dichlorophenylmethanesulfonamide with trichloroethylene gave a new representative of highly electrophilic N-sulfonyl-substituted polyhalogenated aldehyde imines, phenyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene) methanesulfonamide. High reactivity of the product was demonstrated by alkylation of toluene, anisole, thiophene, and 2-chlorothiophene. Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2012.
