Enantioselective NH transfer that allows concise assembly of unprotected enantioenriched amines remains a challenge. Here, the authors report an iron-catalysed stereoselective NH imidation of sulfoxide, which is integrated with photocatalytic racemisation of sulfoxide, enabling a dynamic kinetic resolution strategy for direct and asymmetric synthesis of NH-sulfoximines.
