Electrochemical oxidation of toluene derivatives in the presence of N-tosyldiphenylsulfilimine gave the corresponding benzylaminosulfonium ions, which were treated with tetrabutylammonium iodide under non-electrolytic conditions to give N-tosylbenzylamines. The transformation serves as a metal-and chemical-oxidant-free method for benzylic C-H amination. Because of high oxidation potential of N-tosyldiphenylsulfilimine the present method can be applied to synthesis of various benzylamines from functionalized toluene derivatives.
