An aldol alternative : Cu‐catalyzed hydrative amide synthesis is significantly accelerated in aqueous cosolvent systems. Under environmentally friendly conditions and with N 2 released as the single side product, a wide range of propargyl alcohols and sulfonyl azides react to provide β‐hydroxy N ‐sulfonamides in good to excellent yields. Polyhydroxy amides could be synthesized stereoselectively, proving this as a new practical aldol‐surrogate strategy.
