Investigating the Reaction ofN-Carbobenzoxy-O-carbobenzoxy-hydroxylamine with Dimethyl Sulfoxide: Formation ofS,S-Dimethyl-N-[(phenylmethoxy)-carbonyl]sulfoximine
N-Carbobenzoxy-O-carbobenzoxyhydroxylamine (1a) underwent a thermally induced reaction in DMSO in which thereis net N-α-eliminative oxidation with tandem oxidativeincorporation of DMSO to yield S,S-dimethyl-N-[(phenylmethoxy)carbonyl]sulfoximine. Mechanisms for the formation of the sulfoximine are presented as well as the productcharacterizations, including the X-ray crystal structure.
