title: Palladium-catalyzed alpha-arylation of sulfoximines.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Palladium-catalyzed alpha-arylation of N-benzoyl sulfoximine ethyl ester with various aryl bromides leads to alpha-arylated products that can easily be hydrolyzed, giving the corresponding N-protected benzyl phenyl sulfoximines. In this manner, new sulfoximine derivatives are accessible that have so far been difficult to prepare in enantiopure form.
