The development of Baylis-Hillman and oxa-Michael methodologies for the synthesis of sultam (cyclic sulfonamides) from chiral non-racemic amino alcohols is reported. These methods make use of a central vinyl sulfonamide lynchpin to afford a variety of diverse sultam scaffolds. A library of 4,4-dioxo-1,4,5-oxathiazepines has been synthesized in a one-pot protocol utilizing a TBAF-initiated domino deprotection/ oxa-Michael cyclization methodology. In addition, the synthesis of a library of Baylis-Hillman derived 1,1-dioxo-5-methylene-isothiazolidin-4-ols and subsequent diversification in a one-pot procedure utilizing ROMP-derived polymeric reagents and scavangers is detailed.
