Highly diastereoselective Hydrocyanation of α-sulfinyl cycloalkanones
摘要:
Hydrocyanation of cyclic alpha-sulfinyl ketones under different conditions has been studied. The obtained results show that compounds derived from cyclohexanone react with Et(2)AlCN yielding only sulfinyl cyanohydrins exhibiting different configurations at sulfur and at hydroxylic carbon. The stereoselectivity is slightly lower but also very high starting from alpha-sulfinyl cyclopentanones. The influence of Lewis acids as well as the stereochemical course of these reactions have also been discussed.
