Herein we present the preclinical characterization of novel compounds containing the linear acyl sulfonimidamide functionality. Specifically, we studied the pKa , lipophilicity, in vitro metabolic stability, plasma protein binding, Caco-2 permeability, and aqueous solubility for nine aryl acyl sulfonimidamides. In comparison with widely used carboxylic acid bioisosteres, the acyl sulfonimidamides were found to be less acidic and more lipophilic depending on the substitution pattern in the studied compounds. Importantly, the pKa values (5.9-7.6) were significantly influenced by substituents on the nitrogen atom and the aryl substituents. Moreover, the acyl sulfonimidamides displayed membrane permeabilities ranging from moderate to very high, which correlated with decreased pKa and low to negligible efflux ratios. We foresee that the chiral sulfur center and the two handles for structural diversity of linear acyl sulfonimidamides will offer new opportunities for drug design and for improving the oral bioavailability of acidic drug candidates.

Starting from N-acyl sulfonimidamides, mechanochemically generated rhodium nitrenoids undergo intramolecular N-O couplings to provide unprecedented 1,3,2,4-oxathiadiazole 3-oxides in good to excellent yields. The cyclization proceeds efficiently with a catalyst loading of only 0.5 mol % in the presence of phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) as oxidant.

A mechanochemical synthesis of sulfonimidamides by iron(II)-catalyzed exogenous ligand-free N-acyl nitrene transfer to sulfinamides is reported. The one-step method tolerates a wide range of sulfinamides with various substituents under solvent-free ambient conditions. Compared to its solution-phase counterpart, this mechanochemical approach shows better conversion and chemoselectivity.

N-Acyl sulfonimidamides were synthesized via a Cu-catalyzed double C-H/N-H activation protocol. The imino end of sulfonimidamides was acylated using aldehyde as the acylating agent and t-butyl hydrogen peroxide (TBHP) as the oxidant in acetonitrile (MeCN) at 82 °C. The mild reaction conditions afforded low-to-moderate yields of N-acyl sulfonimidamides with high structural diversity.

Hitherto unexplored aryl and heteroaryl acyl sulfonimidamides have been prepared through the development of a new Pd-catalyzed carbonylation protocol. This novel methodology, employing sulfonimidamides as nucleophiles and CO gas ex situ released from solid Mo(CO)6 in a sealed two-chamber system, yields a wide range of carbamate protected acyl sulfonimidamides in good to excellent yields.
