thioamination of aryne species with sulfilimines. … Based on the experimental results, we currently consider the reaction to proceed through a four-membered ring intermediate C, which is produced either via nucleophilic addition of sulfilimine to the aryne followed by cyclization or via a direct [2+2] cycloaddition (Scheme 2). (6k, 6m) Cleavage of the S–N bond of C and subsequent intramolecular ipso-substitution at the more electron-deficient aryl group provided …
