The effect of nitrogen atoms in the enantioselective oxidation of aryl or heteroaryl benzyl sulfides
摘要:
Some aminophenyl benzyl sulfides or benzyl pyridyl sulfides were asymmetrically oxidized with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of a complex between titanium i-propoxide and (S, S)-hydrobenzoin, an oxidation system that works particularly well with a vast set of aryl benzyl sulfides. Notwithstanding the presence of nitrogen-containing moieties that, in principle, could interfere with the correct co-ordination of the sulfide to the metal center, satisfactory levels of enantioselectivity (up to 78%) were measured for this oxidation process.[GRAPHICS].

A unique palladium-catalyzedarylation of alkyl sulfenate anions is introduced that affords aryl alkyl sulfoxides in high yields. Due to the base sensitivity of the starting sulfoxides, sulfenate anion intermediates, and alkyl aryl sulfoxide products, the use of a mild method to generate alkyl sulfenate anions was crucial to the success of this process. Thus, a fluoride triggered elimination strategy
