Sulfamide

Organosulfur compound

Sulfamide (IUPAC name: sulfuric diamide) is a compound with the chemical formula SO2(NH2)2 and structure H2N−S(=O)2−NH2. Sulfamide is produced by the reaction of sulfuryl chloride with ammonia. Sulfamide was first prepared in 1838 by the French chemist Henri Victor Regnault.[2]

Sulfamide functional group

In organic chemistry, the term sulfamide may also refer to the functional group which consists of at least one organic group attached to a nitrogen atom of sulfamide.

Symmetric sulfamides can be prepared directly from amines, sulfur dioxide gas and an oxidant:[3]

In this example, the reactants are aniline, triethylamine (Et3N, Et = ethyl group), and iodine. Sulfur dioxide is believed to be activated through a series of intermediates: Et3N−+−I−, Et3N−I+−I−3 and Et3N+−SO−2.

The sulfamide functional group is an increasingly common structural feature used in medicinal chemistry.[4]
