Enantiopure methyl D-α-trifluoromethyl-allo-threoninate 18 and L-α- trifluoromethylthreoninate 19 were synthesized using (R)-ethyl p- tolylsulfoxide as chiral α-hydroxyethyl anion equivalent. The key step was the S(N)2-type replacement of the sulfinyl auxiliary with a hydroxy group, via trifluoroacetic anhydride promoted 'non-oxidative' Pummerer reaction (NOPR) of the diastereomeric intermediate β-sulfinyl amines 14 and 15, obtained by condensation of (R)-ethyl p-tolylsulfoxide 13 with the N-Cbz imine of methyl trifluoropyruvate 12. The conclusive evidence for S(N)2-type stereoselectivity of the NOPR was achieved by X-ray diffraction of both the starting diastereomer 14 and the p-bromobenzoate 25, obtained from the threoninate 19. NMR monitoring of the NOPR performed on 15 allowed the detection of a transient intermediate, which was identified as the four membered cyclic σ-sulfurane 27. This intermediate spontaneously rearranged (40 min, rt) into the corresponding sulfenamide 17, probably via an intramolecular displacement of the sulfinyl by a trifluoroacetoxy group, with inversion of configuration at the carbon stereocenter. The same process occurred for the diastereomeric β-sulfinyl amine 14, but the sulfenamide 16 was formed at very fast rate, thus precluding NMR detection of the corresponding σ-sulfurane intermediate 26. One-pot treatment of the diastereomeric sulfenamides 16 and 17 with NaBH4 afforded very good yields of the corresponding threoninates 18 and 19.
