Abstract

The reaction of unsaturated alcohols with N-sulfinyl-p-toluenesulfonamide(TsNSO) is shown to lead stereoselectively to chiral cyclic or bicyclic sulfinates (sultines). The reactions occur at ambient temperatures and afford a general route to 6-and E-sultines which are notable for their crystallinity and thermal stability. These studies confirm the preservation of stereochemical integrity of the carbon atom a to the oxygen atom in the sultine ring. Some ...
