N-tert-Butylbenzenesulfinimidoyl chloride is a useful oxidant for organic synthesis reactions. It is a good electrophile and the sulfimide S=N bond can be attacked by nucleophiles such as alkoxides enolates and amide ions. The nitrogen atom in the resulting intermediate is basic and can abstract an α-hydrogen to create a new double bond.
