A new and direct asymmetric synthesis of a hindered chiral amine via a novel sulfinate ketimine derived from N-tosyl-1,2,3-oxathiazolidme-2-oxide: Practical asymmetric synthesis of (R)-sibutramine

A novel and direct approach for the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-sibutramine via chiral amine 5 using N-tosyl-1,2,3-oxathiazolidine-2-oxide (13) as a recyclable chiral auxiliary is described. Chiral sulfinate imine 16e was obtained by treatment of 13e with
