The first example of palladium-catalyzed intramolecular aminotrifluoromethanesulfinyloxylation of unactivated ω-aminoalkenes has been achieved. Reaction conditions are rather unique with a complex consisting of CF3SO2Na/Pd(OAc)2/PhI(OAc)2/
t
BuOCl/PivOH to provide 6-endo-cyclized type products with a piperidine skeleton. Yields are moderate, and SO2 is not extruded. This method also provides the first synthesis of 3-trifluoromethanesulfinyloxy piperidine derivatives.
