Herein we describe the development and application of a method for the mild, late-stage conversion of primary sulfonamides to several other other functional groups. These reactions occur via initial reductive deamination of sulfonamides to sulfinates via an NHC-catalyzed reaction of transiently formed <i>N</i>-sulfonylimines. The method described here is tolerant of nearly all common functional groups, as exemplified by the late-stage derivatization of several complex pharmaceutical compounds. Based on the prevalence of sulfonamide-containing drugs and building blocks, we have developed a method to enable sulfonamides to be applied as versatile synthetic handles for synthetic chemsitry.

Symmetric organic compounds are generally obtained inexpensively, and therefore they can be attractive building blocks for the total synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and natural products. The drawback is that discriminating the identical functional groups in the symmetric compounds is difficult. Water is the most environmentally benign and inexpensive solvent. However, successful organic reactions in water are rather limited due to the hydrophobicity of organic compounds in general. Therefore, desymmetrization reactions in aqueous media are expected to offer versatile strategies for the synthesis of a variety of significant organic compounds. This review focuses on the recent progress of desymmetrization reactions of symmetric organic compounds in aqueous media without utilizing enzymes.

We have serendipitously discovered a combination of reaction partners that function as a “chiral interlocking auxiliary” to both orientate a macrocycle and, effectively, load it onto a new axle. We demonstrate the potential of this finding through the synthesis of a number of targets in high enantiopurity, without separation of stereoisomers, including examples whose axles lack any functional groups that would allow their direct synthesis by other means, so called “impossible” rotaxanes. Intriguingly, by varying the order of bond forming steps, we can effectively choose which end of an axle the macrocycle is loaded onto, allowing the synthesis of both hands of a single target using the same reactions and building blocks.
