Abstract

A general and simple procedure for preparing any kind of enantiomerically enriched sulfoxide starting from norephedrine-derived N-benzyloxycarbonylsulfamidite 3a is reported. After one-pot reaction of 3a with RMgX, HBF(4), and R'MgX, a variety of sulfoxides 6 are obtained in ee usually higher than 93% and isolated yields ranging between 50 and 78%. The obtained configuration is tunable by simply electing the order of the addition of the reagents. [reaction--see text]
