Although nitrogen-containing heterocycles and sulfonamides both play crucial roles in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, surprisingly little research exists that examines the bifunctional N-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)sulfonamide scaffold for any potential applications. Retrosynthetic analysis indicates that this skeleton would be well suited for a conjugate addition reaction. However, the ability of 2-vinylpyridine to behave as an acceptor, and of sulfonamides to behave as ...
