The addition of an organometallic reagent to the commercially available DABSO as sulfur dioxide surrogate generates a metal sulfinate which is reacted with thionyl chloride. Trapping of the formed sulfinyl chloride intermediates in situ with a variety of nitrogen nucleophiles provides sulfinamides in good yields. The overall reaction is performed at room temperature in only 1.5 h.

The reaction of a N-silyl sulfinylamine reagent with Grignard, organolithium, or organozinc reagents provides a broad range of (hetero)aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl primary sulfinamides. Treatment of these primary sulfinamides with an amine in the presence of a hypervalent iodine reagent leads directly to sulfonimidamides.
