Synthesis of Enantiopure Sulfinimines (Thiooxime S-Oxides) Catalyzed by Yb(OTf)3 from p-Toluenesulfinamide and Aldehydes in Mild Reaction Conditions
摘要:
Enantiomerically pure sulfinimines as important building blocks in the asymmetric synthesis of amine derivatives are prepared in good to excellent yields from chiral p-toluenesulfinamide with aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes. The unprecedented feature of the reported procedure is that the formation of the sulfinimines was achieved by the catalytic action of Yb(OTf)(3) in THF at room temperature. The reaction conditions were also applicable to Ellman's sulfinimines.

The highly enantioselective synthesis of 2-oxo and 3-oxo pyrrolidines has been achieved by diastereoselective addition of the lithiumenolate of α-diazoacetoacetate to chiral N-sulfinyl imines, followed by photoinduced Wolff rearrangement or Rh(II)-catalyzed intramolecular N−H insertion.
