RT Journal Article T1 Catalytic Nitrene Transfer To Alkynes: A Novel and Versatile Route for the Synthesis of Sulfinamides and Isothiazoles A1 Ramírez Rodríguez, Manuel A1 Beltrán Martín, Álvaro A1 Mudarra, Ángel L. A1 Álvarez, Eleuterio A1 Maseras, Feliu A1 Díaz Requejo, María Mar A1 Pérez Romero, Pedro José AB A novel transformation is reported for the reaction of terminal or internal alkynes with the nitrene precursor PhI=NTs (Ts=p-toluenesulfonyl) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Tp(Br3)Cu(NCMe) (Tp(Br3)=hydrotris(3,4,5-tribromo-pyrazolylborate). Two products containing an imine functionality have been isolated from the reaction mixtures, identified as sulfinamides and isothiazoles. The former correspond to the formal reduction of the sulfone group into sulfoxide, whereas the latter involves the insertion of an alkyne carbon atom into the aromatic ring of the N-tosyl moiety.
