Published: Jan. 2, 2025

Asymmetric catalysis involving a sulfoxide electrophile intermediate presents an efficient methodology for accessing stereogenic-at-sulfur compounds, such as sulfinate esters, sulfinamides, etc., which have garnered increasing attention in modern pharmaceutical sciences. However, the aza-analog of electrophiles, asymmetric issues about electrophilic sulfinimidoyl species remain largely unexplored and represent significant challenge sulfur stereochemistry. Herein, we exhibit anionic stereogenic-at-cobalt(III) complex-catalyzed synthesis chiral sulfinamides via iodide intermediates. Mechanistic investigations reveal that catalytic cycle is initiated by oxidative iodination, generating iodides. These active intermediates subsequently undergo enantiospecific nucleophilic substitution with water, affording diverse array enantioenriched sulfinamides. Notably, these promising antifungal activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum serve ideal platform molecules facilitating stereospecific transformation into various stereogenic aza-sulfur compounds.

Abstract A general phase‐transfer catalyst (PTC) mediated enantioselective alkylation of N ‐acylsulfenamides is reported. Essential to achieving high selectivity was the use triethylacetyl sulfenamide protecting group along with aqueous KOH as base under biphasic conditions enable reaction be performed at −40 °C. With these key parameters, enantiomeric ratios up 97.5 : 2.5 newly generated chiral sulfur center were achieved an inexpensive cinchona alkaloid derived PTC. Broad scope and excellent functional compatibility observed for a variety S ‐(hetero)aryl branched unbranched ‐alkyl sulfenamides. Moreover, achieve opposite enantiomer, pseudoenantiomeric designed synthesized from cinchonidine. Given that sulfoximines are bioactive pharmacophore ever‐increasing interest, selected product sulfilimines oxidized corresponding subsequent reductive cleavage affording free‐NH in yields. The utility disclosed method further demonstrated by efficient asymmetric synthesis atuveciclib, phase I clinical candidate which only HPLC separation had previously been reported isolation desired ( R )‐sulfoximine stereoisomer.
