Abstract

Abstract: The preparation and decomposition of some benzenesulfinyl azides are reported. They undergo ready first-order decomposition with loss of nitrogen to give products which generally are consistent with a dipolar sulfinylnitrene intermediate. Unlike carbonyl and sulfonyl azides, the benzenesulfinyl azides do not undergo the Curtius rearrangement or react with CH bonds. In unreactive solvents like 1, 2-dimethoxyethane and acetonitrile, the ...
