Iridium-catalyzed regioselective C–H sulfonamidation of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles with sulfonyl azides in water

Abstract

We have developed a regioselective C–N cross-coupling of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles with sulfonyl azides through iridium catalysis in water. This method tactically linked the 1,2,4-thiadiazoles and sulfonamides together, and the novel molecules increased the diversity of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles which may have potential applications.
