amide hydrolysis
« on: January 07, 2014, 05:17:15 PM »
can we do this  basic hydrolysis in order to get sulfonylamide?
may we say that the product wouldn't be a salt, because if we are in  basic solution  and we have a hydrogen that is acidic, it would left?

Do you think that the sulfonamide would also hydrolyze?  Why or why not?

Hydroxide would cleave the amide bond you have. 
To answer your second question, check out the pKa in this often handy Evans' lab pka table (http://evans.harvard.edu/pdf/evans_pka_table.pdf). 
When in doubt, avoid the Stille coupling.
