General description

N-(Phenylthio)phthalimide is an N-substituted phthalimide. It is used as a sulphenylating agent. The synthesis of N-(phenylthio)phthalimide has been reported.

Application

N-(Phenylthio)phthalimide is suitable reagent used in the synthesis of phenyl (3-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-disulfide. It may be used in the sulfenylation of ylides and β−keto esters.
N-(Phenylthio)phthalimide may be used as sulfenylating agent in the synthesis of the following:
  • α-phenylthio-ketones and α-phenylthio-aldehydes from aldehydes and ketones
  • 3-sulfenyl indoles from indoles
  • optically active 3-phenylthiooxindoles from unprotected 3-substituted oxindoles
  • N−alkyl-β-phenylsulfenyl-2-acetylbenzimidazole from N−alkyl−2−acetylbenzimidazole
  • N−phenylsulfenyl ketimines from oximes or nitro compounds
