Sulfonyl groups have had a long history in protection of amines and other nitrogeneous functionality. 1 One of the most attractive features of sulfonamides, their stability to a wide array of reaction conditions, has commonly proven a liability, since removal is oftentimes problematic in highly functionalized, sensitive substrates. In recent years the arsenal of N-sulfonyl protecting groups has been improved by addition of new varieties amenable to mild removal. 2-4 In connection with some ongoing projects, we required a sulfonamide protecting group capable of withstanding strong metalation conditions and also one easily cleaved. Since virtually all known systems, including most arylsulfonyl groups, bear acidic protons, it became evident that development of a new type of sulfonamide was necessary. In this note we describe the utility of the tert-butylsulfonyl group (Bus) for protection of primary and secondary amines. Undoubtedly tert-butylsulfonyl protection of amines has not previously been used since tert-butylsulfonyl chloride is quite unstable and furthermore does not normally undergo nucleophilic displacement at sulfur with amines. 5 Richey and Farkas have found, however, that readily prepared tert-butylsulfinyl chloride (1) reacts with diethylamine to give the corresponding sulfinamide (2, R1) R2) Et), which could be oxidized with potassium permanganate to the tert-butylsulfonamide (3, R1) R2
