Nucleophilic reactions with Grignardreagents and the Mukaiyama aldol reactions of the naphthaldehydes having the (2,4, 6-triisopropylphenyl)sulfinyl group produced products with high stereoselectivity. In these reactions, the stereochemistry of the major products changes depending on the Lewis acids used. Reduction of the 2-acyl-1-[(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)sulfinyl]naphthalenes also proceeds with
The first desymmetrizations of prochiraldiarylsulfoxides 1 by an asymmetricsulfoxide–magnesiumexchange reaction are reported. The respective substrate (1), iPr2Mg, and the dilithium salt of (S)‐BINOL (which was prepared in situ) provided (S)‐configured aryl isopropyl sulfoxides 2 in up to 91 % yield and with up to 91 % ee. (S)‐BINOL was re‐isolable in 98 % yield.
Barriers for the EZ interconversion of atropisomers of 1-naphthyl sulfoxides (ArSOR) having a methyl group at position 2 of the naphthalene moiety were measured by variable-temperature NMR. Their values were found to cover the range 10.6-18.4 kcal mol-1, the extreme values corresponding to derivatives 1 (R = Me) and 4 (R = Bu(t)), respectively. NOE and LIS measurements indicated that the Z atropisomer is more stable than the E but that the absence of the methyl group at position 2 of the naphthalene moiety reverses this trend, rendering E more stable than Z. Solid-state NMR and X-ray diffraction of 4 established that only the more stable atropisomer (Z) is present in the crystalline state. Molecular mechanics calculations suggest that the Z,E interconversion process might occur by a rotation pathway having an opposite direction in the case of the more hindered derivatives 3 and 4 (R = Pr(i) and Bu(t), respectively) with respect to the less hindered 1 and 2 (R = Me and Et, respectively). The enantiomers, which are due to the presence of the asymmetric sulfur atom, were resolved on a chiral stationary phase (DACH-DNB) having an SS configuration. Asymmetric oxidation reactions were employed to assign the absolute R configuration to the more retained enantiomers of alkyl aryl sulfoxides. The opposite trend (S being retained longer) was observed for diaryl sulfoxides such as 5 (R = Ph). In the case of the derivative with the largest interconversion barrier, sulfoxide 4, it was also possible to resolve (at -35-degrees-C) the two enantiomeric forms and their associated atropisomers. The use of on-line CD detection and the knowledge of the NMR assignments allowed us to unambiguously assign the elution order of the four species as ES, ER, ZS, ZR.

Enantiopure aromatic (phenyl, naphthyl) and heteroaromatic (pyridyl, quinolyl, diazinyl) sulfoxides have been synthesized by reaction of (S)-tert-butyl tert-butanethiosulfinate with aryl- or heteroaryllithium derivatives. The ortho-directed metalation of the sulfoxides was performed with lithium bases. Subsequent addition of the lithiated intermediates to N-tosylimines afforded tosylaminoalkyl tert-butylsulfinyl arenes. In most cases a complete asymmetric induction was highlighted in favor of (S,S) isomers. Heating the aminosulfoxides provided an original cyclization to form novel cyclic sulfenamides. A novel enantiopure synthesis of a benzylamine was described. An application of an enantiopure aminosulfoxide as N,S ligand for the asymmetric catalysis of allylic nucleophilic substitution has been successfully tested.
