This paper describes Brønsted acid catalyzed enantioselective oxysulfenylation and oxyselenenylation of olefins. Enantiomerically enriched tetrahydrofurans are formed with up to 63% ee with dibenzoyl-d-tartaric acid and its derivatives as catalyst. Chiral β-carboxyl sulfides and selenides have also been obtained with up to 50% and 84% ee, respectively, via enantioselective desymmetrization of thiiranium
An enantioselective sulfenylation of β-naphthols has been developed for the first time using a newly synthesized cinchona-derived thiourea as the catalyst and N-(arylthio) succinimide (or phthalimide) as an electrophilic sulfur source. Various enantioenriched naphthalenones with an S-containing all-substituted stereocenter were prepared via a dearomatization strategy under mild reaction conditions
