A simple and efficient procedure for the synthesis of N-sulfinylaldimines (sulfinimines) from sulfinamides and aldehydes is described. The reaction was carried out in the presence of t-BuOK or NaOH. The method is applicable for the synthesis of optically active sulfinimines. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
