Ruthenium catalyzed imido-transfer reactions of aldehydes: An easy access to N-sulfonyl aldimines under mild reaction conditions
(N-Tosylimino)triphenylphosphorane (Ph3P=NTs) and [N-(p-toslylsulfonyl)imino] pheryliodinane (PhI=NTs) were found to be efficient imido-transfer reagents for imidation of aldehydes using [RuCl2(PPh3)(3)] as the catalyst. A probable mechanism for this reaction is proposed. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
