The condensation of allyl benzene (II) with (4-nitrophenylsulfonylimino)phenyliodinane (I) by means of Cu-OTf or Cu(OTf)2 in acetonitrile gives the sulfonyl aziridine (III), which is treated with 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (IV) to yield the sulfonamide (V). The cleavage of the 4-nitrophenylsulfonyl group of (V) by means of thiophenol, DMSO and K2CO3 in hot acetonitrile affords the primary amine (VI), which is finally condensed with 3,4-dimetoxyphenylsulfonyl chloride (VII) and TEA in dichloromethane to provide the target sulfonamide.
