The N-alkylation of ambident and weakly nucleophilic imino-thiazolidinones has been developed via substitution with alkyl fluorosulfonates. These reactive electrophiles are obtained through the transformation of nontoxic, economic, and commercially available alcohol derivatives on exposure to SO2F2 gas. The use of electron-withdrawing groups and DMAc as solvent affords a (Z)- and N-endocyclic selectivity for the easy introduction of a variety of alkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chains.
