Abstract
I recently documented the strategic use of a sulfoxide reagent as a sulfur monoxide equivalent to enable one-pot, three-component syntheses of sulfoxides and sulfinamides. The sulfoxide reagent donates the SO unit upon the reaction with Grignard reagents (RMgX) as sulfenate anions (RSO–). The anionic sulfur intermediates can be readily transformed into sulfoxides and sulfinamides via trapping with appropriate carbon and nitrogen electrophiles. This Synpacts article highlights my first efforts to establish a general sulfinylative cross-coupling platform.
