Abstract

N-Sulfinyl p-toluenesulfonamide (1) reacted with triaryl-and diarylmethanols to give predominantly N-substiuted sulfonamides and SO2 presumably via carbonium ion intermediates. When carbonium ion forming alchols, such as t-BuOH and Ph2C (Me) OH, were used the predominant products were alkenes and p-toluenesulfonamide. Allytic alcohols afforded N-substiuted sulfonamides along with dienes andp-toluenesulfonamide. ...
