Metal-Free Approach for the Synthesis of <i>N</i>-Aryl Sulfoximines via Aryne Intermediate

Abstract

A metal-free and operationally simple N-arylation of NH-sulfoximines with aryne precursors is reported. Transition metal-free reaction conditions and shorter reaction times are the highlights of the present method. The mild optimized condition was also found to be suitable with enantiopure substrates.
