• and 2-phenylethanol, were well tolerated. These substrates afforded the corresponding sulfinimidate esters 3m’–q’ in 70–90% yields. In addition to linear alcohols, cycloalkyl-substituted primary alcohols such as cyclobutylmethanol and cyclopentylmethanol were also examined. These small-ring systems
