Abstract
Structurally diverse sulfonyl chlorides were synthesized via N-chlorosuccinimide chlorosulfonation in good yields from S-alkylisothiourea salts, which can be easily prepared from readily accessible alkyl halides or mesylates and inexpensive thiourea. In large-scale syntheses, the water-soluble byproduct succinimide can be conveniently converted into the starting reagent N-chlorosuccinimide with sodium hypochlorite.
