61. This result is unexpected as it has been shown that protic solvents induce hydrolysis of the (presumably formed) iminoiodane in the presence of transition-metal complexes; see: a) R. E. White, Inorg. Chem. 1987, 26, 3916-3919;

64. Under these conditions, the sulfonimidamide (S)-1b is less soluble than 1a, thus leading to lower yields.
65. It is also worth mentioning that no competitive sulfimidation takes place with 2-ethylthiophene (entry 11).. T. Otani, Y. Sugihara, A. Ishii, J. Nakayama, Tetrahedron Lett. 1999, 40, 5549-5552.

67. This result strongly suggests a kinetic resolution of 1a, the scope and application of which are currently under investigation.
