One-pot, three-component synthesis of novel δ-sultam scaffolds via N-sulfonylation—intramolecular Michael sequences.

The synthesis of novel δ-sultam scaffolds utilizing one-pot, three-component reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, primary aliphatic amines and substituted styrenesulfonyl chlorides is reported. A variety of six-membered sultams are obtained in moderate to good yields presumably via N-sulfonylation—intramolecular Michael addition sequences
