Abstract

Phenyliodonium diacetate mediates an efficient oxidative esterification of sulfenamides to provide sulfinimidate esters and sulfilimines under mild and metal-free conditions in very good yields. The protocol is readily scalable and compatible with a diverse range of substrates and functional groups.
