Org Lett. 2017 Apr 7;19(7):1582-1585. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.7b00406. Epub 2017 Mar 23.

Abstract

A chemoselective Staudinger reduction/sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange cascade has been developed to join two chemical segments through an aryl sulfamate ester (RNH-SO2-OAr) linkage. Aryl fluorosulfate is exploited in this work as the first tetrahedral electrophilic trap for the in situ generated iminophosphorane. Ten examples using azide-containing compounds are presented.
