Abstract
A series of four Cu(I) complexes were tested for sulfimidation of 1,3‐dithianes in the presence of [N‐(p‐tolysulfonyl)imino]phenyliodinane (PhI=NTs) as the nitrene‐transfer agent. Cu(TMPhen)(PPh3)Br is an efficient catalyst with more than 90% yield of the corresponding product with less reaction time as compared to the literature copper(I) complexes.
