Organoboron/iodide-catalyzed photoredox N-functionalization of NH-sulfoximines/sulfonimidamides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Nov 14;59(91):13643-13646. doi: 10.1039/d3cc04351g.

Abstract

An aminoquinolate diarylboron (AQDAB) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) co-catalyzed photoredox process for N-functionalization of NH-sulfoximines/sulfonimidamides has been successfully developed. This protocol can afford the corresponding N-sulfenylated and N-phosphonylated products in good to excellent yields under conditions without metallic (photo)catalysts, external oxidants, or acidic/basic additives. A wide range of functional groups are tolerated, and the N-phosphonylated products of NH-sulfonimidamides have been reported for the first time.
