The arylsulfonyl derivatives of primary and secondary amines have been carefully investigated and are very useful in the separation and identification of amines. However, very little work has been done on the alkylsulfonyl derivatives of this type. The work of Johnson and Ambler shows that benzylsulfonamides are more easily hydrolyzed than are arylsulfonamides. It was thought that the simple alkylsulfonamides might hydrolyze even ...
