Use of alpha-Chlorinated N-(tert-Butanesulfinyl)imines in the Synthesis of Chiral Aziridines.

Org Lett. 2006 Jul 6;8(14):3129-32

Authors: Denolf B, Mangelinckx S, Törnroos KW, De Kimpe N

Reaction of chiral alpha-chloro tert-butanesulfinyl aldimines with Grignard reagents efficiently afforded beta-chloro N-sulfinamides in high diastereomeric excess. The latter compounds were cyclized toward the corresponding chiral aziridines in a high-yielding one-pot reaction or after separate treatment with base. The diastereoselectivity obtained in the newly synthesized beta-chloro sulfinamides is explained via the coordinating ability of the alpha-chloro atom with magnesium resulting in the opposite stereochemical outcome as generally observed for nonfunctionalized N-sulfinyl imines.
