Several N-acyl-S,S-arylphenylsulfilimines were prepared and subjected to thermal decomposition. They decomposed readily at 130–190 °C to give isocyanates together with diphenyl sulfide, quantitatively. However, N-tosyl-S,S-diphenylsulfilimine did not decompose even upon heating at 200 °C for 24 h. A kinetic study revealed that the rates of pyrolysis of N-aroyl-S,S-arylphenylsulfilimines (p-Y–C6H4(Ph)S→NCOC6H4–X-p) are nicely correlated with the Hammett σ-values, ρX=−1.2 and ρY=+0.92, respectively, being obtained. The activation enthalpies and entropies were ΔH\eweq=38.7 kcal/mol and ΔS\eweq=6.0 e.u. for Ph2S→NCOPh and ΔH\eweq=32.3 kcal/mol and ΔS\eweq=5.5 e.u. for (Remark: Graphics omitted.), respectively. The rearrangement was accelerated considerably by o-methyl substituent in the aryl group. The effect of solvent on the rate of pyrolysis was small. The results indicate that the pyrolysis of sulfilimine proceeds via a concerted migration of the R group from carbonyl carbon to imino nitrogen similar to the Curtius type rearrangement of acid azide.
precursors in reactions with thioethers under the catalysis of a commercially available Ru(II) complex, from which a variety of sulfimides were synthesized efficiently and mildly. If an allyl group is contained in the thioether precursor, the [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the sulfimide occurs simultaneously and the N-allyl-N-(thio)amides were obtained as the final products.

A gold-catalyzed formal 1,3-dipolar [3 + 2] annulation using readily accessible N-acyl sulfilimines and ynamides is reported. This reaction includes the cleavage of a N–S bond and subsequent C–O bond formation. In total, 30 oxazole derivatives bearing diverse functionalities could be prepared in 43–98% yield from the corresponding sulfilimines and ynamides.

N-benzoyl-S,S-diphenylsulfilimine or N-benzoyl dibenzothiophene sulfilimine produces PhNCO and also benzoylnitrene. Direct observation of the triplet nitrene, energetic differences between the singlet and triplet state of the nitrene, and oxygen quenching experiments suggest that the triplet nitrene derives from the triplet excited state of the sulfilimine precursors, rather than through equilibration of nearby

photochemical conditions, thus yielding N‐acyl nitrenes. Described herein is a light‐induced ruthenium‐catalyzed N‐acyl nitrenetransfer to sulfides and sulfoxides by decarboxylation of 1,4,2‐dioxazol‐5‐ones at room temperature, thus providing direct access to N‐acyl sulfimides and sulfoximines under mild reaction conditions. In addition, a one‐pot sulfurimidation/oxidation sequence catalyzed by a single
