61. [21]), where it ensured high substrate conversions. Although not investigated here again, we assume that, depending on the specific substrate combinations, applications of lower reagent amounts might also lead to high product yields.
62. To confirm our assumption that bromoarenes and bromoalkenes could not be applied, couplings of bromobenzene and β-bromostryrene with sulfoximine 1a were attempted. Both reactions remained unsuccessful, and no coupling product was obtained.
