In organosulfur chemistry, sulfinamide is a functional group with the structure R−S(=O)−NR2 (where R = alkyl or aryl).[1] This functionality is composed of a sulfur-carbon (S−C) and sulfur-nitrogen (S−N) single bonds, as well as a sulfur-oxygen double bond (S=O), resulting in a tetravalent sulfur centre (in resonance with its zwitterionic form). As a non-bonding electron pair is also present on the sulfur, these compounds are also chiral. They are sometimes referred to as S-chiral sulfinamides. Sulfinamides are amides of sulfinic acid (R−S(O)OH).
