Abstract

Abstract: Chiral sulfamyloxaziridines 6 and 7, prepared by biphasic oxidation of the corresponding sulfamylimines 5, afford high asymmetric induction for the oxidation of a series of nonfunctionalized sulfides to sulfoxides (53-91% ee). The enantioselectivities exhibited by these reagents are comparable to, or in some cases better than, the modified Sharpless reagent reported by Kagan. Steric factors are primarily responsible for the chiral ...
