Methyl 4-Pentafluorosulfanylphenyl Sulfoximines

Abstract

A low-cost and high-yielding synthetic route towards methyl 4-pentafluorosulfanylphenyl sulfoximines from the corresponding sulfide has been developed. The intermediate N-cyano sulfoximine was converted into the corresponding N-(1H)-tetrazole, and the NH-sulfoximine was modified by N-arylation and N-alkylation reactions.
