Abstract

A transition metal-free strategy for the dehydrogenative β-sulfonylation of tertiary cyclic amines is described. N-iodosuccinimide facilitates regioselective oxidative sulfonylation at C–H bonds positioned β to the nitrogen atom of tertiary amines, installing enaminyl sulfone functionality in cyclic systems. Mild reaction conditions, broad functional group tolerance and a wide substrate scope are demonstrated. The nucleophilic character of the enaminyl sulfone is harnessed, demonstrating potential application for scaffold diversification
