Hey, would it be possible, to turn sulfonic acid groups, like in Taurine
into "Thioamines" or how you would call it - like this
via Leuckart-Wallach for example?
And if not, is there any specific reason?

Why is S 4-valent in your molecule?

Compounds with two geminal YHx substituents where Y = (N, O, Cl, F, S, Br, I) x = (0,1,2) tend to be very unstable, eliminating YH(x+1). So your
example compound would eliminate ammonia. However, the general class of compounds does exist:

Sulfonamide of taurine is probably known. what you have drawn is some vastly more obscure compound which would be best described by replacing the HO-S
with a S=O. These are apparently called sulfonimidamides and are not prepared by reductive amination of some S=O compound and neither are
sulfonamides.
