Amines are converted in good to excellent yields to phenylsulfides or phenyl‐selenides via nucleophilic displacement on the corresponding ditosylamides. The conversion of (−)‐( S )‐1‐phenylethylamine to the chiral phenylsulfide 6 was found to proceed with inversion of configuration. A simple one‐pot procedure for the preparation of ditosylamides is reported.
