Abstract

For chemoselective acidic hydrolysis of N-arylsulfonamides with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, a near-stoichiometric amount of the acid was found to be sufficient to deprotect various neutral or electron-deficient N-arylsulfonamides, whereas electron-rich substrates provided sulfonyl group migration products.
