Asymmetric Synthesis of β-Hydroxy Sulfides Controlled by Remote Sulfoxides
摘要:
Reactions of (S)-alpha-(methylthio)-2-(p-tolylsulfinyl)benzyl carbanion with different carbonyl compounds proceeds with complete control of the configuration at the benzylic position. Aldehydes yield easily separable mixtures of beta-hydroxy sulfides, epimers at the hydroxylic carbon, where the stereoselectivity depends on steric factors (from 20% to > 98% de).
