N-Arylations of Sulfoximines with 2-Arylpyridines by Copper-Mediated Dual N-H/C-H Activation

A high-yielding method providing rapid access to new N-arylated sulfoximines has been developed. A stoichiometric amount of copper facilitates the C-H activation of 2-arylpyridines which then undergo oxidative C-N cross-couplings with various sulfoximine derivatives.
