Electrochemical oxidation of N-p-toluenesulfinamides.
[reaction: see text] Contrasting and interesting electrochemical behavior is observed in anodic oxidation of N-substituted p-toluenesulfinamides under controlled current conditions. For sulfinamides derived from secondary alkylamines and primary arylamines, the N-sulfinyl group is removed and the corresponding amines are formed; for sulfinamides derived from primary alkylamines, sulfur oxidation yields the corresponding sulfonamides in good yields.
