title: Copper-Catalyzed S-C/S-N Bond Interconversions.
abstract: Under an atmosphere of dioxygen, copper-catalyzed de-alkylation/amination sequences provide sulfonimidamides from unprotected sulfoximines in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of radicals in both the C-S bond cleavage and the formation of the new N-S bond.
