Synthesis of C3- and C2-symmetric tris- and bis-sulfoxide ligands by asymmetric oxidation
摘要:
A series of tris- and bis-sulfoxides were synthesized by multiple asymmetric oxidation of the corresponding sulfides. High enantioselectivities were obtained based on Horeau-type amplification of selectivity. Naphthyl-substituted sulfoxides allowed for higher selectivity and greater ease of purification. These sulfoxides were tested as ligands in rhodium-catalyzed olefin hydroacylation and 1,4-addition of phenyl boronic acid to 2-cyclohexen-1-one. While no enantioinduction was observed in hydroacylation, up to 80% ee was obtained for a tris-sulfoxide and a bis-sulfoxide ligand in the 1,4-addition. Bis-sulfoxides with flexible backbones gave lower and inversed enantioselectivity, suggesting backbone rigidity plays a key role in enantioinduction. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The synthetic scope of the reactionsbetween benzenethiolate, 4-methoxybenzenethiolate, 2-naphthalenethiolate, and 2-pyridinethiolate anions with 1,3-dihalo-2,2-dimethylpropane was studied. These reactions render mono and disubstituted products from good to excellent yields. For all the substrates studied the monosubstituted halogenated product is the intermediate or the main product depending on the
