Electrochemical N(sp2)–H/C(sp3)–H cross-coupling reaction between sulfoximines and alkylarenes

Abstract

An electrochemical oxidation-induced amination of simple alkylarenes with sulfoximines as a nitrogen source and 5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole as a catalyst under mild conditions was developed. This protocol represents a rare example of benzylic C–H functionalization of alkylarenes that involves the electrochemical generation of N-center radical, providing access to a range of corresponding aminated products in moderate to good yields.
