[3+2]‐Cycloadditions of N‐Cyano Sulfoximines with 1,3‐Dipoles Alexander von Humboldt

[3+2]‐Cycloadditions of N‐Cyano Sulfoximines with 1,3‐Dipoles

Abstract In the present study reports 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions starting from easily accessible N‐cyano sulfoximines. In a straightforward manner, sulfoximines with N‐1,2,4‐triazolyl and N‐1,2,4‐oxadiazolyl substituents are prepared in good yields, While the former reactions require the presence of Yb(OTf)3 in catalytic amounts, the latter proceed metal‐free. Abstract Involving the cyano…
