Diastereoselective α‑Hydroxylation of <i>N</i>-<i>tert</i>-Butanesulfinyl Imidates and <i>N′</i>-<i>tert</i>-Butanesulfinyl Amidines\nwith Molecular Oxygen

Abstract

Diastereoselective\nα-hydroxylation using molecular oxygen\nhas been achieved with chiral α-alkyl <i>N</i>-<i>tert</i>-butanesulfinyl imidates and α-aryl <i>N</i>′-<i>tert</i>-butanesulfinyl amidines. The aza-enolates\ngenerated from deprotonation of imidates/amidines can be intercepted\nby O<sub>2</sub> with excellent diastereocontrol and subsequently\ntransformed into α-hydroxylation products in the presence of\nthe reductant trimethyl phosphite.
