description <p>In this thesis, novel methods for the synthesis of sulfondiimines and sulfondiimidamides are described. The use of sulfinylamine linchpins in combination with commercially available organometallic reagents and amines provides access to a broad range of sulfondiimines and sulfondiimidamides.</p> <p>Chapter 1 provides an overview of the properties of S(VI)-functionalities such as sulfoximines, sulfonimidamides, sulfondiimines and sulfondiimidamides, as well as synthetic strategies to access them.</p> <p>Chapter 2 documents a novel strategy for the preparation of sulfondiimines. A stable sulfinylamine linchpin, N-sulfinyl-tert-octylamine (t-Oct-NSO), is selected as the starting reagent. The combination of two different organometallic reagents with t-Oct-NSO in the presence of Lewis acid generates the sulfilimine intermediate. This is followed by a rhodium-catalysed imination, providing a broad range of orthogonal N-protected sulfondiimines. Deprotection and various functionalisation reactions provide the most diverse range of sulfondiimines to date.</p> <p>Chapter 3 describes the exploration of a novel functional group, sulfondiimidamides, which are the di-aza analogues of widely explored sulfonamides. The combination of t-Oct-NSO with LiHMDS, TMSCl and various organometallic reagents provides the corresponding N-t-Oct primary sulfinamidines. Protection with a nosyl group provides orthogonally N-protected sulfinamidines. Oxidative fluorination followed by Ca(NTf2)2-mediated amination converts the sulfinamidines to the corresponding sulfondiimidoyl fluorides and sulfondiimidamides, respectively. Imidazole-substituted sulfondiimidamides are also shown to be effective intermediates, allowing primary amines and challenging N-nucleophiles to be used. A series of deprotection and further functionalisation reactions using sulfondiimidamides are described, indicating the possible application of these interesting functional groups in the pharmaceutical industry. An analogue of the COX-2 inhibitor, Celecoxib, was prepared using this methodology.</p> <p>Chapter 4 details the discovery of a novel sulfinylamine linchpin, N-sulfinyl-triisopropylsilylamine (TIPS-NSO). The reaction of the TIPS-NSO with LiHMDS, TMSCl and various organometallic reagents followed by N-protection and N-TIPS deprotection, enables the synthesis of N-substituted primary sulfinamidines. A robust sulfondiimidamide synthesis method is developed from these primary sulfinamidines via PhI(OAc)2-promoted amination. Celecoxib analogue is prepared using this methodology in only four steps, and a sulfondiimidamide analogue of Sildenafil is accessed in just two steps.</p> <p>Chapter 5 discusses the conclusion of our research and future plans.</p> <p>Chapter 6 presents the experimental procedures and data.</p>
