Introduction. Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid (HOSA), sim-ilarly to other electronegatively substituted amines such as O-alkyl, O-acyl and O-sulfonylhydroxylamines, behaves as either anucleophile (NH2

− synthon) or an electrophile (NH2+ synthon)

depending on substrates used and reaction conditions. Over thepast two decades, considerable progress has been made in theapplication of HOSA, particularly in the area of organic func-tional group transformations and heterocyclic chemistry. Oftenthe construction of a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring sys-tem is based on a multistep procedure, which takes advantage ofboth the nucleophilic and electrophilic properties of this versatilereagent.

Conversion of Alkenes into Primary Amines. The challeng-ing direct enantioselective addition of ammonia to alkenes hasbeen achieved by catalytic asymmetric hydroboration/aminationreaction using electrophilic HOSA as an aminating reagent.52

Styrene or other vinylarene undergoes catalytic asymmetric hy-droboration with catecholborane in the presence of rhodiumcomplexes of 1,1′ -(2-diarylphosphino-1-naphthyl)isoquinoline togive catecholboronate ester. Since reactivity of the borane ester inelectrophilic substitution is rather low, in the next step, a more ac-tive trialkylborane is obtained by the displacement of the catecholmoiety with nucleophilic alkylating agent, such as MeMgCl orEt2Zn. Finally, upon treatment with HOSA, electrophilic amina-tion takes place with complete retention of configuration, leadingto a range of primary α-arylalkylamines in up to 97% enantiomericexcess (eq 28).52

Conversion of Methyl Sulfones to Sulfonamides. An alter-native method for the preparation of aromatic sulfonamides con-sists in the application of methylsulfones as starting materials.Here, the reaction of phenyl methyl sulfone with either the Grig-nard reagent or LDA causes deprotonation of the methyl groupwith the formation of corresponding carbanion. Treatment withtrialkylborane leads to the formation of the “ate” complex, which,at elevated temperature, rearranges to a sulfinic acid salt. Thisreacts with HOSA to give the desired sulfonamide (eq 33).57

It has been suggested that, by taking advantage of this proce-dure, a methylsulfone may be used as a protected aryl sulfonamideto be carried out through multistep synthesis. As anticipated, ben-zyl methyl sulfone gives only methylsulfonamide, because depro-tonation and “ate” complex formation occurs exclusively at themore acidic methylene group.

Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds via N-, O- and S-Amination. Hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid is applied for thesynthesis of a wide range of five-membered heterocyclic ring sys-tems employing a tandem nucleophilic addition (or substitution)–electrophilic amination approach. Substrates for these procedurescan be depicted as tautomeric structures A, B, and C (eq 44).

2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde70 and 2-hydroxyacetophenone71 canbe efficiently transformed into benzo[d]isoxazole and 3-methylbenzo[d]isoxazole, respectively, through the intramolecu-lar O-amination reaction of the transiently formed oxime hydrogensulfate (eq 45).

Similar reactions of 1,3-diketones provide isoxazoles (eq 46)and 5,6-dihydro-4H-cyclopenta[c]isoxazoles as well as 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[c]isoxazoles and 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[d]-isoxazoles.71

A mechanistically similar reaction sequence has been appliedfor the synthesis of 4-unsubstituted isothiazoles. Initially, the re-quired substrate with tautomeric structure of type B is generatedin a one-pot procedure using α-acetylenic aldehydes or ketones,HOSA, and NaSH. Subsequent intramolecular electrophilic am-ination reaction proceeds easily in a buffered aqueous solution(eq 51).75

Diselenide treated with NaBH4 and acetylenic ketone gives thecorresponding carbamate, which, in the presence of HOSA, pro-vides isoselenazole and its N-oxide (eq 52).76 The actual pathwayleading to the formation of N-oxide remains unclear.

An analogous reaction of tellurocarbamate with HOSA leads tothe 12-membered macrocyclic compound featuring the periodic–O–Te–N– sequence (eq 53).77

Nucleophilic Substitution of Activated HeterocyclicHalides. The nucleophilic properties of HOSA are particularlyuseful for its reactions with activated heterocyclic halides. Thus,2-chloro-4,5-dihydroimidazole reacts with a slight excess ofHOSA in aqueous solution at room temperature, giving riseto the formation of 2-hydroxylamino-4,5-dihydroimidazolium-O-sulfonate (eq 54).78 Betaine 1 can be converted into thecorresponding sulfonate salt upon treatment with either aqueousNaOH or triethylamine in DMF solution and further used for

various tandem nucleophilic addition–electrophilic aminationreactions, as depicted in eq 55.

Thus, the compound 1 reacts with aromatic aldehydes aswell as cyclic ketones to give 6,7-dihydro-imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]-oxadiazoles, while the use of carbon disulfide or aryl isoth-iocyanates allows for the preparation of corresponding 6,7-dihydroimidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]thiadiazoles.78 The reactions of 1with arylisocyanates, arylsulfonyl isocyanates, or their stablenonhazardous substitutes 4-dimethylaminopyridinium N-(arylsulfonyl)carbamoylides, lead to the formation of 6,7-dihydro-2H-imidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazoles.79 Finally, treatmentof 1 with Eschenmoser’s salt or benzotriazole aminals results inthe formation of 6,7-dihydroimidazo[2,1-c][1,2,4]triazol-2-iumsalts.80

Similarly, hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid can be used as anefficient nucleophilic aminating reagent for 2-chloropyrimidines(eq 56), 2-chloroquinolines, and 1-chloroisoquinoline.81 The het-eroaromatic hydroxylamine-O-sulfonates 2 thus obtained and sub-jected to the reaction with acetyl, benzoyl (eq 57), or ethoxy-carbonyl isothiocyanates undergo tandem nucleophilic addition–electrophilic 5-endo-trig cyclizations with formation of 1,2,4-thiadiazolo[2,3-a]pyrimidine derivatives.

Finally, 6-chloropurine, when subjected to the reactionwith a four-fold excess of HOSA, provides (Z)-1H-purin-6-

ylideneaminooxysulfonic acid, a probable secondary metaboliteof adenine (eq 58).82
