Rh(iii)-catalyzed direct ortho-C–H diarylation of arylsulfoximines with arylsilanes

Abstract

Established herein is a Rh(III)-catalyzed direct ortho-C–H diarylation of arylsulfoximine derivatives with diverse arylsilanes. The protocol demonstrates a wide scope of substrates, good functional group tolerance and the adoption of environmentally friendly arylsilanes, allowing the synthesis of potentially valuable tricyclic arylsulfoximine derivatives.
