Sulfonamidation of halogen-substituted electrophiles with N-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)arenesulfonamides

Reactions of N-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)arenesulfonamides with primary alkyl bromides and iodides, allyl bromide, chloroacetonitrile, and benzyl chloride in acetonitrile on heating in the presence of potassium carbonate gave the corresponding N-alkyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)arenesulfonamides.
