Reaction of [Ru(F<sub>20</sub>-TPP)(CO)] with PhINSO<sub>2</sub>OCH<sub>2</sub>CCl<sub>3</sub> (prepared by treating the sulfamate ester Cl<sub>3</sub>CCH<sub>2</sub>OSO<sub>2</sub>NH<sub>2</sub> with PhI(OAc)<sub>2</sub>) afforded a bis(imido)ruthenium(VI) porphyrin, [Ru<sup>VI</sup>(F<sub>20</sub>-TPP)(NSO<sub>2</sub>OCH<sub>2</sub>CCl<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>], in 60% yield. A mechanism involving reactive imido ruthenium porphyrin intermediate was proposed for the ruthenium porphyrin-catalyzed intramolecular amidation of sulfamate esters. Complex [Ru(F<sub>20</sub>-TPP)(CO)] is an active catalyst for intramolecular aziridination of unsaturated sulfonamides with PhI(OAc)<sub>2</sub>, producing corresponding bicyclic aziridines in up to 87% yield with up to 100% substrate conversion and high turnover (up to 2014). 2004-05-28 00:00:00 sulfamate esters p reactive imido ruthenium porphyrin TPP 3 OSO 2 NH 2 MeO intramolecular amidation OCH CH 2 XC PhI sulfamate ester Cl 3 CCH 2 OSO 2 NH 2 Unsaturated Sulfonamides Ruthenium porphyrins F 20 VI 2 OSO 2 NH 2
