Abstract
A series of novel N-acylsulfonamides derivatives were synthesized via direct condensation of parent sulfonamide with ethyl lactate as an acylating agent in the presence of tin (IV) chloride (SnCl4) as a Lewis acid catalyst. The sulfonamides were prepared, starting from chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI), in three steps (carbamoylation, sulfamoylation, and deprotection) with excellent yields.
