Mild Copper–TBAF-Catalyzed <i>N</i>‑Arylation of Sulfoximines with Aryl Siloxanes

An efficient copper–TBAF-catalyzed C–N bond formation of sulfoximines with arylsiloxanes in dichloromethane at room temperature, affording the desired <i>N</i>-aryl sulfoximines in good to excellent yields under an oxygen atmosphere, is reported. This method complements the existing synthetic approaches due to some advantageous properties of arylsiloxanes such as availability, low toxicity, ease of handling, high stability, and environmental benignity under mild reaction conditions, thus opening a new approach to practical C–N bond formation
