Abstract

The thermal decomposition of the aryl azides (1) into dimethyl sulphide (2), thioanisole (3), and tetrahydrothiophene (4) generally affords the 2-substituted anilines (5)–(7) in practicable yields by Sommelet–Hauser rearrangement of the intermediate N-arylsulphimides (11a–c) which result from arylnitrene attack at the sulphur atom of (2)–(4). This constitutes a potential synthetic procedure.
