title: Synthesis of N-(1H)-tetrazole sulfoximines.
abstract: N-(1H)-Tetrazole sulfoximines are readily available by addition of sodium azide to the corresponding N-cyano derivatives in the presence of ZnBr2. The use of these N-(1H)-tetrazoles as intermediates in the synthesis of other N-heterocyclic sulfoximines is demonstrated.
