Abstract

A convenient, general method for the preparation of sulphenimines by the reaction of aldehydes and ketones with N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)sulphenamides in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride catalyst is described. ... In spite of the fascinating structure of sulphenimines possess- ing both the imine function and a sulphur-nitrogen bond, their chemistry1.2 has not yet been widely explored. This is probably because of the lack of sufficient and practical ...
