21. The reaction was not applicable to less reactive N-benzylic sulfonamides, such as N-benzyl-p-toluenesulfonamide. Furthermore, no alkenylation product was obtained from the reaction of alkene 2a with N-(2-cyclohexenyl)-p-toluenesulfonamide or N-(1-adamantyl)-p-toluenesulfonamide.
22. No alkenylation product was obtained from the reaction of N-benzylic sulfonamide 1a with a monosubstituted alkene, such as styrene.
