Functionalized S-perfluorinated sulfoximines: Preparation and evaluation in catalytic processes

Abstract N-substituted S -perfluoroalkylated sulfoximines were synthesized from the NH sulfoximines either by a copper coupling reaction with aryl halides or by a reaction with electrophilic substrates. The procedure allowed the preparation of N,N′-bridged bis sulfoximines and of thioureas. The potential of these new sulfoximines was evaluated in different catalytic processes.
