Synthesis and functionalization of vinyl sulfonimidamides and their potential as electrophilic warheads

Covalent Modifiers

Yu Tung Wong, Charles Bell, and Michael C. Willis Chem. Sci., 2025 DOI [link] Covalent inhibitor design is dominated by the use of electrophilic acrylamide warheads. One limitation of acrylamides is that there are limited opportunities to modify their electrophilicity, and hence reactivity, by simple structural changes. Here we show that vinyl sulfonimidamides are effective electophilic groups for reaction with both sulfur- and nitrogen-based biologically relevant nucleophiles.
