Abstract
The reaction of an arylaldehyde and a sulfonylisocyanate in a solvent or in neat form under catalyst- and additive-free conditions gives the desired N-sulfonylimine with the release of carbon dioxide. The method offers unique clean efficiency, convenience, and scalability, although it was reported to fail half a century ago.
