Abstract
This work describes the preparation of an aliphatic series of
the N-trifluoromethanesulfonyl-S-trifluoromethyl-S-sulfoximine group.
The key step of the synthesis is the imination of fluorinated sulfoxides
under experimental conditions, which avoid cleavage of the alkyl
group. The formation of sulfoximines 6 and 15 allows the preparation of various fluorinated
sulfoximines having strong electron withdrawing properties.
Keywords
fluorine - sulfur - arylations - sulfoximines - imination of sulfoxides

We assume that the lack of reactivity
is due to the poor nucleophilicity of the sulfur because of the
presence of the trifluoromethyl group.

Attempts at imination of sulfoxide 5 under Yagupol’skii’s conditions
gave rise to a complex mixture of products in a low yield. In Bentley
and Whitehead’s conditions no transformation of the fluorinated
sulfoxide 5 was observed.
