Asymmetric Induction in the Reduction of Optically Active N-Alkylidenesulphinamides by Metal Hydrides. A New, Efficient Enantioselective Route to Chiral Amines

A series of racemic and optically active N-alkylidenesulphinamides has been prepared and their reduction by metal hydrides studied.The extent of asymmetric synthesis mainly depends on the nature of the reducing species; the best results (up to 92percent of stereoselectivity) are obtained with alkoxy-lithium aluminium hydrides.A new, highly enantioselective synthesis of amines is described.
