Abstract

The monodesulfonylation reaction of N, N-bis (methylsulfonyl)-, N, N-bis (phenylsulfonyl)-, and N, N-bis (p-tolysulfonyl) arylamines easily proceeded using tetrabutylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran under mild conditions to give the corresponding N- monosulfonylarylamines in excellent yields.
