Dibenzothiophene Sulfoximine as an NH₃ Surrogate in the Synthesis of Primary Amines by Copper‐Catalyzed C−X and C−H Bond Amination

Abstract

Readily accessible dibenzothiophene sulfoximine is an NH₃ surrogate allowing the preparation of free anilines by copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with aryl iodides or amides followed by radical S-N bond cleavage. The one-pot/two-step reactions sequence leads to the aminated products in good yields.
