Desulfonylation of Amides Using Samarium Iodide

Abstract
The desulfonylation of N-sulfonyl amides can be achieved in reasonable to excellent yield by reaction with samarium(II) iodide (SmI2) in THF at room temperature. Deprotection of acyclic and cyclic amides bearing aryl and alkylsulfonyl groups is possible.
