Abstract

An efficient copper-catalyzed method for introducing aryl substituents on the amino end of sulfonimidamides has been developed. Microwave irradiation allows for short reaction times and good yields, and a variety of aromatics can be coupled.

Key words

sulfonimidamides - copper catalysis - microwave - amino ligands - N-coupling
