Visible light-promoted NH-halogenation of sulfoximines with dichloromethane or dibromomethane†
Abstract
In visible light, dichloro- and dibromomethane are the halogen sources for converting NH-sulfoximines to their corresponding N-halo derivatives via an in situ formed sulfoximidoyl-containing hypervalent iodine reagent. The reactions proceed in air and are catalyst- and additive-free. The products are obtained in good to excellent yields.
