Chiral sulfinates studied by optical rotation, ECD and VCD: The absolute configuration of a cruciferous phytoalexin brassicanal C

The optical rotation, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) of chiral sulfinates have been studied experimentally, and analysed by density functional theory calculation, aiming at establishing a reliable and convenie

Acid catalyzed alcoholysis of sulfinamides: Unusual stereochemistry, kinetics and a question of mechanism involving sulfurane intermediates and their pseudorotation

The synthesis of optically active sulfinic acid esters has been accomplished by the acid catalyzed alcoholysis of optically active sulfinamides. Sulfinates are formed in this reaction with a full or predominant inversion of configuration at chiral sulfur or with predominant retention of configuration. The steric course of the reaction depends mainly on the size of the dialkylamido group in the sulfinamides and of the alcohols used as nucleophilic reagents. It has been found that bulky reaction components preferentially form sulfinates with retention of configuration. It has been demonstrated that the stereochemical outcome of the reaction can be changed from inversion to retention and vice versa by adding inorganic salts to the acidic reaction medium. The unusual stereochemistry of this typical bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction, as confirmed by kinetic measurements, has been rationalized in terms of the addition-elimination mechanism, A-E, involving sulfuranes as intermediates which undergo pseudorotations.

Practical and highly stereoselective method for the preparation of several chiral arylsulfinamides and arylsulfinates based on the spontaneous crystallization of diastereomerically pure N-benzyl-N-(1-phenylethyl)- arylsulfinamides

A novel and simple process for the preparation of enantiomerically pure (SS)-benzenesulfinamide (SS)-3a, (SS)-p- toluenesulfinamide (SS)-3b, (SS)-p-chloro- benzenesulfinamide (SS)-3c and (SS)-p- fluorobenzenesulfinamide (SS)-3d has been developed. The treatment of arylsulfinyl chlorides with (R)-N-benzyl-1-phenylethanamine in the presence of excess triethylamine gave diastereomeric mixtures of N-benzyl-N-(1-phenylethyl)- arylsulfinamides 1, which underwent spontaneous crystallization to furnish diastereomerically pure (R,SS)-N-benzyl-N-(1-phenylethyl)- arylsulfinamides (R,SS)-1a-1d in 28%, 29%, 27% and 31% yields, respectively. The diastereomerically pure compounds (R,SS)-1 were then converted into four enantiopure (RS)-methyl arylsulfinates (RS)-2, and finally into four enantiopure (SS)- arylsulfinamides (SS)-3 in good yields.

Asymmetric synthesis of chiral organosulfur compounds using N-sulfinyloxazolidinones

This paper describes a new class of chiral sulfinyl transfer reagents, 4 and 5 (R = aryl, alkyl), which are readily prepared from the oxazolidinones derived from (4R,5S)-norephedrine (HXN) and (4S)-phenylalanine (HXp), respectively. These N-suIfinyloxazolidinone reagents can be synthesized either by sulfinylation-of the metalated oxazolidinones or by oxidation of the derived N-sulfenimides to afford the diastereomeric N-sulfinyloxazolidinones which may be readily purified by chromatography. These sulfinylating agents react with a wide range of nucleophiles such as Grignard reagents, enolates, lithium alkoxides, or metalated amides, with inversion of configuration at the sulfur center to afford the derived chiral sulfoxides, sulfinate esters, and sulfinamides in high yields and enantioselectivities. Competition experiments have established that this family of chiral sulfinylating agents is at least 100 times as reactive as the corresponding menthyl sulfinate esters toward Grignard reagents.
