使用铱催化的不对称氢化反应制备了几种手性磺酰基化合物。研究了乙烯基、烯丙基和高烯丙基砜的取代,无论烯烃相对于砜的位置如何,都保持了高对映选择性。二烷基取代获得了令人印象深刻的立体选择性,这通常是氢化中具有挑战性的底物。正如预期的那样,体积更大的 Z 底物比相应的 E 异构体氢化得更慢,并且对映选择性略低。
Lithium 1-alkynethiolates, generated by a base-induced ring cleavage of 4-substituted 1,2,3-thiadiazoles, were efficiently converted into the corresponding sulfenate salts by mild oxidation using an N-sulfonyloxaziridine derived from pinacolone. In situ S-alkylation with alkyl halides led to α,β-acetylenic sulfoxides.
