Abstract
N-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethylidene)sulfenamides (trifluoromethylated sulfenimines) were easily prepared in one step by anodic oxidation of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine and diaryl disulfides in MeCN/Et4NClO4 using MgBr2 as a redox mediator. The sulfenimines were highly useful building blocks for the preparation of trifluoromethylated amines, aminoketone, and aminoalkanoates.
