A palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling of arylboronic acids, sulfur dioxide and hydrazines

A novel and efficient route to aryl N-aminosulfonamides via a palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling of arylboronic acids, sulfur dioxide and hydrazines in the presence of a balloon of dioxygen is reported. The reaction proceeded smoothly under mild conditions and DABCO center dot(SO2)(2) was used as the source of sulfur dioxide.
