Photodegradation of aryl sulfonamides: N-tosylglycine
Abstract
Continuing uncertainty about pathways and consequences of the photolability of aryl sulfonamides is partly resolved by the results of comprehensive product analysis in the photolysis of aqueous N-tosylglycine, which indicate that intramolecular electron or hydrogen transfer (according to conditions) promote the widely reported S–N cleavage and reveal the nature of subsequent and competing processes.
