Abstract
![]()
A study involving the use of Mg-MeOH for the double reductive
cleavage
of both N–S and C–S bonds in a series of 11 benzo-fused
cyclic sulfonamides is reported. Examples where the sulfonamide nitrogen
atom is part of a pyrrolidine ring effectively undergo reduction,
as long as a methoxy substituent is not para-positioned
in the aromatic ring, relative to the sulfonyl group. In contrast,
if the nitrogen atom is contained within an aromatic ring (pyrrole
or indole), the presence of a para-methoxy substituent
does not prohibit reduction. If deuterated methanol is used, aromatic ortho-deuterium incorporation was observed. To better understand
how structure affects reactivity, density functional theory calculations
were performed using three functionals. Results using CAM-B3LYP were
found to best correlate with experimental observations, and these
demonstrate the impact that the different aromatic substitution patterns
and types of N-atom have on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital
(LUMO) energies and adiabatic electron affinities.

Abstract
Cyclic sulfonamides (sultams) play a unique role in drug discovery and synthetic chemistry. A direct synthesis of sultams by an intramolecular C(sp3)-H amidation reaction using an iron complex in situ derived from Fe(ClO4)2 and aminopyridine ligand is reported. This strategy features a readily available catalyst and tolerates a broad variety of substrates as demonstrated by 22 examples (up to 89% yield). A one-pot iron-catalyzed amidation/oxidation procedure for the synthesis of cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines is also realized with up to 92% yield (eight examples). The synthetic utility of the method is validated by a gram-scale reaction and derivatization of the products to ring-fused sultams.

Abstract
Reduction of a range of benzo-fused cyclic sulfonamides has been accomplished using low-valent titanium. This operationally simple method generates the corresponding aryl-substituted cyclic amines, typically, with good conversion. Notably, unlike our previous Li-NH3-based method, loss of heteroatom-based substituents (X) on the aromatic ring does not readily occur, and the robustness of this method was demonstrated with a synthesis of the Sceletium alkaloid mesembrane.

Abstract
Bridged lactams represent the most effective and wide-ranging method of constraining the amide bond in a non-planar conformation. A previous comprehensive review on this topic was published in 2013 (Chem. Rev.2013, 113, 5701–5765). In the present review, which is published as a part of the Special Issue on Amide Bond Activation, we present an overview of the recent developments in the field of bridged lactams that have taken place in the last five years and present a critical assessment of the current status of bridged lactams in synthetic and physical organic chemistry. This review covers the period from 2014 until the end of 2018 and is intended as an update to Chem. Rev.2013, 113, 5701–5765. In addition to bridged lactams, the review covers recent advances in the chemistry of bridged sultams, bridged enamines and related non-planar structures.
