Abstract

N-Bromosuccinimide mediates a tandem oxidative/nucleophilic substitution approach for the synthesis of sulfinamidines from readily availables sulfenamides and amines in high yield without any additives or catalysts. This method is highly time-economical, safe to operate, and easy to scale up and offers excellent functional group compatibility.
