A series of alkyl- and arylsulfenanilides has been prepared by thermal cycloelimination of acrylonitrile or methyl acrylate from N-aryl sulfimides derived from 3-alkylthio-propionitriles or methyl 3-alkylthio-propanoates.Compared to reactions in earlier studies cycloelimination proceeds much faster at very mild conditions, thus allowing a one-pot synthesis of sulfenanilides from corresponding 3-alkyl-thio-propionitriles or 3-alkylthio-propanoates.
