Synthesis of N-Acylsulfenamides from Amides and N-Thiosuccinimides

Jessica T. T. Liu et al.

Summary: A robust and general method for the preparation of N-acylsulfenamides is reported, which are important functionalities for the asymmetric synthesis of high oxidation state sulfur compounds. This straightforward transformation involves the reaction of various compounds with stable N-thiosuccinimides or N- thiophthalimides, which can be prepared in a single step from commercial thiols. The use of stable reactants eliminates the need for highly reactive sulfenyl chlorides.

Preparation of Sulfilimines by Sulfur-Alkylation of N-Acyl Sulfenamides with Alkyl Halides

Andrew T. Champlin et al.

Summary: Sulfur alkylation of N-acyl sulfenamides with alkyl halides leads to sulfilimines, with yields ranging from 47% to 98%. This reaction demonstrates a wide scope with different aryl and alkyl sulfenamides, as well as various N-acyl groups. Alkyl halides with different steric and electronic properties, including methyl, primary, secondary benzyl, and propargyl halides, are effective reactants. Furthermore, an asymmetric phase-transfer alkylation was successfully demonstrated. The resulting sulfilimine products can be easily converted to N-acyl and free sulfoximine, which are important motifs in medicinal chemistry.

Synthesis of Sulfilimines Enabled by Copper-Catalyzed S-Arylation of Sulfenamides

Qingjin Liang et al.

Summary: This article describes an unprecedented synthetic route to sulfilimines through a copper catalyzed Chan-Lam-type coupling reaction of sulfenamides. The key to success is the chemoselective S-arylation of S(II) sulfenamides to form S(IV) sulfilimines, which overrides the competitive and thermodynamically favored C-N bond formation. The selectivity is achieved through a selective transmetallation event where bidentate sulfenamide coordination promotes the S-arylation pathway. The mild and environmentally friendly catalytic conditions allow for a wide range of functional group compatibility, enabling the efficient preparation of various diaryl or alkyl aryl sulfilimines.

Redox-Neutral Synthesis of Sulfilimines through the S-Alkylation of Sulfenamides

Guoling Huang et al.

Summary: In this study, a metal-free and redox-neutral strategy was developed for the selective S-alkylation of sulfenamides under basic conditions to yield sulfilimines. The key step involves the resonance between bivalent nitrogen-centered anions, generated after deprotonation of sulfenamides under alkaline conditions, and sulfinimidoyl anions. Our sustainable and efficient approach employs sulfur-selective alkylation of readily accessible sulfenamides and commercially available hydrocarbons, leading to the successful synthesis of 60 sulfilimines in high yields (36-99%) and short reaction times.
