Synthesis of S-allylic sulfinamides by the catalytic nucleophilic allylation of N-sulfinylamines

Abstract

Sulfinamides are important compounds in organic synthesis and biologically active molecules, but S-allylic sulfinamides have received scant attention. Herein, we describe the synthesis of S-allylic sulfinamides by indium- or (thio)urea-catalyzed additions of allylboron reagents to N-sulfinylamines.
