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 the arylating agent, demonstrates broad functional-group compatibility, and provides N-congested arylated products in good yields.
