A thiosuccinimide enabled S-N cross-coupling strategy has been established for the intermolecular -sulfenylation of clinically approved sulfa drugs under additive-free conditions. This approach features simple operation, high chemoselectivity for sulfenylating the phenylamino group of sulfonamides, wide substrate scope, and easy scale production, affording -sulfenylated products in moderate to excellent yields (up to 90%). In addition, we also found that this transformation can be realized in a one-pot manner by employing readily available thiols as starting materials, and the obtained sulfonamide derivatives are capable of various late-stage functionalizations, including oxidation, arylation, benzylation, and methylation.

Rationale: Isomerism can be an important aspect in pharmaceutical drug development. Identification of isomers can provide insights into drug pharmacology and contribute to better design of drug molecules. The general approaches to differentiate isomers include Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and circular dichroism.

Chemical post-translational protein-protein conjugation is an important technique with growing applications in biotechnology and pharmaceutical research. Maleimides represent one of the most widely employed bioconjugation reagents. However, challenges associated with the instability of first- and second-generation maleimide technologies are yet to be fully addressed.

Michael addition between thiol- and maleimide-functionalized molecules is a long-standing approach used for bioconjugation, hydrogel crosslinking, and the functionalization of other advanced materials. While the simplicity of this chemistry enables facile synthesis of hydrogels, network degradation is also desirable in many instances. Here, the susceptibility of thiol-maleimide bonds to radical-mediated degradation is reported.

Maleimides are essential compounds for drug conjugation reactions via thiols to antibodies, peptides and other targeting units. However, one main drawback is the occurrence of thiol exchange reactions with, for example, glutathione resulting in loss of the targeting ability. A new strategy to overcome such retro-Michael exchange processes of maleimide-thiol conjugates by stabilization of the thiosuccinimide via a transcyclization reaction is presented.
