Various thioamides were reacted with N-arylsulfonyl aziridines in the presence of a catalytic amount of dry zinc chloride to provide the corresponding N-arylsulfonyl amidine derivatives with good to excellent yields.

Typical Procedure for the Synthesis of N-Arylsulfonyl Amidine 3a A suspension of anhydrous ZnCl2 (3.2 mg, 2 mol%) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (2.0 mL) was refluxed for 5 min, a solution of 2-phenyl-1-tosylaziridine (2a, 328 mg, 1.2 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL) was added slowly, and the mixture was stirred at 40 °C for a further 5 min. Morpholino(phenyl) methanethione (1a, 207 mg, 1 mmol) was then added, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then triturated with H2O (5 mL) to remove ZnCl2 and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 5 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. Finally, the residue was subjected to column chromatog-raphy on silica gel eluting with PE–EtOAc (1:1) to furnish amidine 3a as a white solid (314 mg, 91%).
