N-Acylsulfonamides represent an important bioisostere of carboxylic acids that allow for greater molecular elaboration and enhanced hydrogen bonding capabilities. Herein, we present a mild and convenient palladium(0)-catalyzed synthesis of N-acylsulfonamides via the carbonylative coupling of sulfonyl azides and electron-rich heterocycles. The reaction proceeds via in situ generation of a sulfonyl isocyanate followed by regioselective acylation of an indole or pyrrole nucleophile. This approach has been used to synthesize 34 indole- and pyrrole-substituted N-acylsulfonamides in yields of up to 95%. Importantly, this process is ligand-free and compatible with an ex situ solid CO source and requires only slightly elevated temperatures, making it a highly attractive method for the preparation of this important class of compounds. This study further investigated the possibility of labeling N-acylsulfonamides with carbon-11 to facilitate biological evaluation and in vivo studies with positron emission tomography.
