A novel preparation of sulfilimines from the corresponding sulfoxides using the Burgess reagent is described. The reaction is general to dialkyl- and aryl alkyl sulfoxides and proceeds under mild conditions in benzene. A variety of protecting groups can be introduced on the nitrogen of the sulfilimine by choosing the appropriate Burgess reagent.

The first imidation of thioethers with free nitrene in water was realized. N-Cbz sulfilimines are formed via imidation of thioethers with free nitrene generated from α elimination of nosyloxycarbamates. In this work, water is successfully applied as solvent for free nitrene, and transition metal catalyst is not needed.
