Abstract

Abstract Image

A simple and mild copper salt-catalyzed N-arylation of sulfoximines in high yields is reported. Cu(OAc)2 activates aryl boronic acids for the reaction with NH-sulfoximines without additional base or heating. Furthermore, this new method allows the preparation of N-arylated sulfoximines, which have previously been more difficult to access.
