Reaction of fluorinated imidoyl chlorides 1 with lithium enolates of chiral non-racemic methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide or racemic methyl phenyl sulfoxide 2 gave N-substituted γ-fluorinated β-iminosulfoxides 3 in excellent yields as the major tautomer with Z geometry.
Trifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides 1 were obtained in 80-90 % yields when a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and a primary amine was heated in carbon tetrachloride in the presence of triphenylphosphine and triethylamine. The corresponding bromides 2 were obtained when carbon tetrabromide was used instead of carbon tetrachloride. Imidoyl iodides 3 were prepared by substitution of the chloro group of 1 by iodide ion in acetone.
Two Practical and Efficient Approaches to Fluorinated and Nonfluorinated Chiral β-Imino Sulfoxides
Reaction of fluorinated and nonfluorinated N-substituted imidoyl chlorides 1 with lithium derivatives of enantiopure methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide 2a (or racemic methyl phenyl sulfoxide 2b) gave a wi;ie variety of chiral N-substituted beta-imino sulfoxides 4 in good to excellent yields. The title compounds (R)-4 were also prepared by aza-Wittig reaction of gamma-fluoro-beta-keto sulfoxides (R)-5 and N-aryl iminophosphoranes 6. The imino-enamino equilibrium was studied, showing, in all instances, the imino form as the predominant tautomer independent of the nature of the N-substituent. The configuration of the C=N double bond was found to be Z for both N-alkyl and N-aryl derivatives on the basis of H-1 NMR NOE difference experiments performed over several compounds. Ab initio calculations (HF/6-31G*) carried out on several representative examples of 1 and 4 are, in general, consistent with the experimental results.
