Abstract:
NH-sulfoximines can be prepared efficiently from corresponding sulfoxides in the presence of sodium azide and Eaton’s reagent. This metal-free and efficient methodology is applicable to a wide variety of functionalized sulfoxides to afford NH-sulfoximines in good to excellent yields with shorter reaction time than previously reported methods.
