In this study, we report the synthesis of sulfur-stereogenic sulfoximines through Co(III)/chiral carboxylic acid-catalyzed reaction. The synthetic yields and enantioselectivities are high, and the products can be further transformed into recyclable chiral auxiliaries.
Sulfoximines bearing stereogenic sulfur atoms are ubiquitous motifs in pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and bioactive compounds. Herein, we report the synthesis of sulfur-stereogenic sulfoximines via Co(III)/chiral carboxylic acid-catalyzed enantioselective C-H amidation. A broad range of cyclic and acyclic sulfur-stereogenic sulfoximines were isolated in good yields and enantioselectivities (up to an 86% yield and 1.5:98.5 er). The acyclic amidation products can be reduced to potential N,S-chiral sulfoxide ligands, which could be further transformed into recyclable chiral auxiliaries in the Pd-catalyzed diastereoselective C(sp(3))-H activation of aliphatic carboxylic acids.
