Palladium catalyzed aroylation of NH-sulfoximines with aryl halides using chloroform as the CO precursor

A palladium-catalyzed aroylation of NH-sulfoximines for the efficient synthesis of N-aroyl sulfoximines from aryl halides and chloroform has been developed. The mild reaction conditions (temperature, catalyst loading) and the use of a CO surrogate render this transformation a useful method for the synthesis of N-aroyl sulfoximines from available feedstock.
