Abstract
| - To evaluate the ability of dibenzothiophene N-substituted sulfilimines as photochemical nitrene sources, their photolyses in the presence of several trapping reagents, such as sulfides, olefins, and phosphorus compounds, were performed. In the reactions, the corresponding imino-transfer compounds, namely sulfilimines, aziridines, and iminophosphoranes, were formed in good yields, indicating dibenzothiophene N-tosyl and N-acylsulfilimines have a potent nature as nitrogen sources.
