Abstract

With the aim to develop a practically useful, reductively more labile alternative to tosyl for protection of amino functions, initially a number of N-arenesulfonyl-protected heterocycles (pyrroles, imidazoles, indole, and carbazole) have been prepared and studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The recorded activation potentials vary from-1.32 to-1.99 V (vs SCE). In N- sulfonylazolides such as tosylindole the cathodic potentials are shifted by over 0.5 V ...
