Interestingly, however, the sluggish reaction of aniline (Scheme I), which required 68 h at 42 C for 94% con-version (66% yield of 5), also produced a 28% yield of iV, iV'-diphenylsulfamide (7). 1 Presumably, the rate of attack on 4, by the poorly nucleophilic aniline, is low enough such that unreacted aniline promotes base-cata-lyzed elimination of the aryl ester 5 to the transiently stable N-sulfonylamine 6 which is quickly trapped by an-iline to give 7. This observation, coupled with the absence of a mild, high-yield preparative method for symmetrical and mixed sulfamides, 2 3 which avoids the use of strongly electrophilic agents such as S02C12 and PC1S, prompted us to examine the reactions of 1 with amines in some detail. We viewed the proposed reaction of 1 with amines to produce sulfamides with some apprehension since the acidity of the NH proton4 of 1 and the basicity of aliphatic amines, as suggested by pK& measurements in aqueous media, would mandate the formation of a salt 8 (Scheme II). Without a significant concentration of free amine, the'-sulfonylamine 9, derived from 8, could not be trapped by the amine to yield sulfamide products. The use of the amine in large excess does not represent a solution since the dianion of 1, if formed, as is apparently the case on reaction of 1 with inorganic bases, 1 would be unlikely to fragment. We were thus pleasantly surprised to find that treatment of 1 with 1 equiv of benzylamine in boiling dioxane for 2 h resultedin a quantitative cleavage to produce catechol and N, iV'-dibenzylsulfamide (10). Apparently enough free amine is present to allow a high-yield conversion. The results of treatment of 1 with several amines are summarized in Table I. Thus, animation of 1 appears to proceed well with primary amines, branched primary amines, and secondary amines. Aromatic amines react only with difficulty, how-ever. This reaction therefore appears to be a good general method for preparation of dialkylsulfamides. Preparation of arylalkyl-or diarylsulfamides is less attractive, however, due to a very slow reaction of 4 with aromatic amines and an even more sluggish reaction of the intermediate sulfa-(2) Nucleophilicity roughly parallels basicity (March, J.“Advanced Organic Chemistry”, 2nd ed.; McGraw-Hill: New York, 1977, pp 322-5 and references therein) and, eg, since aniline’s basicity is much lower than that of benzylamine [pff,(aniline)= 4.63, pK,(benzylamine)= 9.33 (“Handbook of Chemistry and Physics”, 50th ed.; The Chemical Rubber Co.; Cleveland, OH, 1969, p D115)], the nucleophilicity is expected to be lower by a comparable amount.
