To expand the toolbox for the synthesis of ortho-phenolic sulfilimines, sigmatropic rearrangements were introduced to the field of sulfilimine chemistry. Herein we report a N-H sulfenylation/[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement cascade reaction. This mild reaction enables commercially available thiols to serve as the sulfenylation reagent and generates water as the sole byproduct. Moreover, the reaction has a wide substrate scope and can be conducted on a gram scale with excellent reaction efficiency.
