- Improved synthesis of tert-butanesulfinamide suitable for large-scale production
-
(Matrix presented) An improved synthesis of tert-butanesulfinamide that overcomes the scalability problems of the previous syntheses is described. The key step is the catalytic asymmetric oxidation of the inexpensive di-tert-butyl disulfide starting material. The new homogeneous reaction conditions utilize an inexpensive chiral ligand prepared in a single step from commercially available cis-1-amino-indan-2-ol. The reaction is performed at a 2.3 M concentration in the practical solvent acetone and can readily be run on a kilogram scale.

- Catalytic asymmetric oxidation of tert-butyl disulfide. Synthesis of tert-butanesulfinamides, tert-butyl sulfoxides, and tert-butanesulfinimines
-
The first example of the catalytic asymmetric oxidation of tert-butyl disulfide (1) is described. The product, tert-butyl tert-butanethiosulfinate (2) is obtained with 91% enantiomeric excess in yields of ≤92% on scales as large as 1 mol. The application of H2O2 as stoichiometric oxidant in the presence of 0.25 mol% of VO(acac)2 and 0.26 mol% of a chiral Schiff base ligand, 6a, is both convenient and cost-effective. Thiosulfinate ester 2 is chemically and optically stable and serves as an excellent precursor to chiral tert-butanesulfinyl compounds by the stereospecific nucleophilic displacement of tert-butyl thiolate. Addition of LiNH2 in liquid ammonia and THF provides tert-butanesulfinamide (3; 91% yield). A single recrystallization provides enantiomerically pure 3 in 71-75% overall yield from disulfide 1. Enantiomerically pure thiosulfinate ester 2 also reacts readily and stereospecifically with Grignard reagents, organolithiums, lithium amides, and lithium imine salts to provide enantiomerically pure chiral sulfoxides, sulfinamides, and sulfinimines in good yield.

- Method for preparing chiral tert-butyl sulfinamide
-
The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and provides a method for preparing (R)-tert-butyl sulfinamide. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing a Grignard compound by using halogenated tert-butane as an initial raw material through a Grignard reaction, introducing sulfur dioxide gas into the Grignard reaction solution, and reacting to obtain tert-butyl sulfinic acid; (2) converting tert-butyl sulfinic acid into tert-butyl sulfinyl chloride by adopting thionyl chloride; (3) converting tert-butyl sulfinyl chloride into tert-butyl sulfinate through an alcohol reagent and an alkaloid compound; and (4) converting tert-butyl sulfinate into chiral (R)-tert-butyl sulfinate amine in the presence of ferric nitrate, lithium metal or sodium metal. Accordingto the method, the defects of an existing process are overcome, foul tert-butyl mercaptan is not used, used halogenated tert-butane and the like are common and cheap materials, alkaloid compounds canbe recycled, and the method is more suitable for industrial production.

- DMAP-Catalysed Sulfinylation of Diacetone- D -Glucose: Improved Method for the Synthesis of Enantiopure tert-Butyl Sulfoxides and tert-Butanesulfinamides
-
An improved method for the tert-butanesulfinylation of diacetone glucose with tert-butanesulfinyl chloride is reported. The method is based on a beneficial effect of catalytic DMAP, which enhances both the rate of the reaction and the enantioselectivity of the process to give (R S)-diastereomer 2 R S with a 94 % de and in quantitative yield. (R S)-DAG sulfinate ester 2 R S is an excellent intermediate for the synthesis of enantiopure tert-butyl sulfoxides. Grignard agents and organolithium reagents can displace smoothly the diacetone glucose moiety to give synthetically relevant enantiopure sulfoxides, including highly functionalized derivatives, in high yields and with high enantioselectivities. (R S)-DAG sulfinate ester 2 R S is also an excellent N-sulfinylating agent; simple addition of LiHMDS (lithium hexamethyldisilazide) in THF gives (S S)-tert-butanesulfinamide, and N-tert-butanesulfinylimines are then formed in a two-step one-pot manner. N-Alkylated tert-butanesulfinamides are formed by the condensation of 2 R S with lithium amides.

- Recycling the tert-butanesulfinyl group in the synthesis of amines using tert-butanesulfinamide
-
A practical process for recycling the tert-butanesulfinyl group upon deprotection of N-tert-butanesulfinyl amines has been achieved. Treatment of N-tert-butanesulfinyl amines with HCl in cyclopentyl methyl ether results in complete conversion to tert-butanesulfinyl chloride and the corresponding amine hydrochloride salt, which is isolated by filtration in analytically pure form and in quantitative yield. Treatment of the resulting sulfinyl chloride solution with aqueous ammonia then provides analytically pure tert-butanesulfinamide in 97% yield. Alternatively, the tert-butanesulfinyl chloride solution can be treated with ethanol and catalytic quinidine as a sulfinyl transfer catalyst to provide a cyclopentyl methyl ether solution of ethyl tert-butanesulfinate with 88% ee. Addition of NaNH2 in ammonia followed by simple trituration of the product with octane provides tert-butanesulfinamide with 99% ee and in 67% overall isolated yield based upon the starting N-tert-butanesulfinyl amine.

A general method is described for asymmetric synthesis of both syn- and anti-1,3-amino alcohols. The first application of metalloenamines derived from N-sulfinyl imines is reported for the highly diastereoselective addition to aldehydes. The reduction of the product β-hydroxy N-sulfinyl imines 2 with catecholborane and LiBHEt3 provides syn- and anti-1,3-amino alcohols with very high diastereomeric ratios. This method was found to be effective for a variety of substrates incorporating either aromatic or various aliphatic substituents. The convergent and efficient asymmetric syntheses of the two natural products, (-)-8-epihalosaline and (-)-halosaline, were also accomplished.
