trans-(±)-2-tert-Butyl-3-phenyloxaziridine: A Unique Reagent for the Oxidation of Thiolates into Sulfenates
摘要:
Aliphatic thiolates were efficiently converted into the corresponding sulfenates by smooth oxidation with trans-(+/-)-2-tert-butyl-3-phenyloxaziridine at room temperature (five examples). Subsequent electrophilic quench with benzyl bromide led to sulfoxides (S-alkylation) in good to moderate yields. Application of the protocol to an aromatic substrate was also successful. This work represents the first valuable example of the use of this poorly active oxidizing agent in synthetic organic chemistry without the need for activating conditions.

demonstrate novel properties as asymmetric catalysts. We report the three-dimensional structures of two such asymmetric catalysts (crystals A and B) for Strecker alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acidsynthesis. These complexes are constructed via assembly of the same chiral modules derived from d-glucose, but their assembly modes differ. The enantioselectivity in the Strecker reaction was dramatically switched
自组装手性多金属配合物通常表现出作为不对称催化剂的新特性。我们报告了用于 Strecker α、α-二取代氨基酸合成的两种这种不对称催化剂(晶体 A 和 B)的三维结构。这些复合物是通过组装来自 d-葡萄糖的相同手性模块构建的,但它们的组装模式不同。Strecker 反应中的对映选择性发生了显着变化,具体取决于使用的组装模式:原位生成的催化剂,其结构由晶体 B 或晶体 A 表示。这些发现提供了对高阶结构的功能重要性的洞察一种人工催化剂。
