Ru(salen)-catalyzed asymmetric sulfimidation using arylsulfonyl azide
摘要:
An (OC)Ru(II)(salen) complex was found to catalyze imidation of alkyl aryl sulfides in the presence of azide with high enantioselectivity as well as good chemical yield. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Enantioselective imidation of alkyl aryl sulfides was achieved by using (R,R)- or (R,S)-Mn-salen complex [(R,R)-3 or (R,S)-3] as a catalyst. The optimum reaction conditions are dependent upon the substrates examined. For example, the imidation of alkyl phenyl sulfides with PhI=NTs using Mn-salen complex (R,R)-3 as a catalyst in the presence of N-methylmorpholine N-oxide showed high enantioselectivity

An unusual temperature effect on enantioselectivity was: found in a study of Mn(salen)-catalyzed sulfimidation. The phenomenon was considered to be attributable to the following reasons: the reaction of Mn(salen) and a nitrenoid precursor (Arl-NTs) provides primarily an Mn-ArINTs adduct which undergoes sulfimidation and transformation to an Mn-nitrenoid species competitively; however, the rates of sulfimidation by the Mn ArINTs adduct and the Mn-nitrenoid species and of the transformation are dependent on the structure of the catalyst, the nature of ArI-NTs and the presence or absence of a donor ligand.
