The reaction between N,N-dialkylhydroxylamines and sulphinyl chlorides
Abstract
The reaction of N,N-dialkylhydroxylamines with sulphinyl chlorides proceeds via an O-sulphinylated hydroxylamine intermediate, which has been isolated and characterised by n.m.r. spectroscopy; rearrangement of this intermediate to the sulphonamide has been shown to involve an aminyl radical.
