(Equation Presented) A novel electrochemical sulfoxide imination process is described. Our approach starts with a highly selective nitrene transfer from N-aminophthalimide to a variety of sulfoxides. This oxidative treatment is followed by reductive N-N bond cleavage under the controlled current conditions, which leads to a range of parent NH sulfoximines. In addition to solving the challenging problem of removing the N-phthalimido group, the overall process avoids the use of toxic oxidants and metal additives.
