Metal-free N-arylation of sulfoximines using diaryliodonium salts at room temperature

Abstract

Herein, we report an unprecedented and highly efficient transition-metal-free method for the N-arylation of NH-sulfoximines at room temperature under mild conditions. This method uses diaryliodonium salts as arylating agents, demonstrates broad functional-group compatibility, and provides sterically congested N-arylated products in good yields.
