title: An eco-friendly N-sulfonylation of amines using stable and reusable Zn-Al-hydrotalcite solid base catalyst under ultrasound irradiation.
abstract: Synthetic nanosized Zn-Al-hydrotalcite (Zn-Al-HT) with 20 nm crystallite size and 61 m(2)/g BET-surface area is found to be a mild and efficient catalyst for N-sulfonylation of amines in quantitative yields under ultrasound irradiation. Exclusive synthesis of sulfonamides, using Zn-Al-HT, under ultrasound irradiation, was realized by compatible basic sites of catalyst used. The products were isolated after simple work-up in high yields and purity.
