A transition metal-free strategy for the dehydrogenative β-sulfonylation of tertiary cyclic amines is described. <i>N</i>-Iodosuccinimide facilitates regioselective oxidative sulfonylation at C-H bonds positioned β to the nitrogen atom of tertiary amines, installing enaminyl sulfone functionality in cyclic systems. Mild reaction conditions, broad functional group tolerance and a wide substrate scope are demonstrated. The nucleophilic character of the enaminyl sulfone is harnessed, demonstrating ...[more]
