Preparation of Sulfamates and Sulfamides Using a Selective Sulfamoylation Agent.

Sulfamates and sulfamides are prevalent in biological molecules, but their universal synthetic methods are limited. We herein report a sulfamoylation agent with high solubility and shelf stability. Various sulfamates and sulfamides can be synthesized directly from alcohols or amines by employing this agent with high selectivity and high yields. This protocol was also successfully used for late-stage sulfamoylation of pharmaceuticals containing a hydroxyl or amino group.
