    Enantio- or diastereoselective oxidation of (methylthio)methylphosphonates as a route to precursor of chiral sulfoxides

    No full text
    he enantio- or diastereoselective oxidation of readily available (methylthio)methylphosphonates produces optically active (methylsulfinyl)methylphosphonates which can be used as direct precursors of chiral nonracemic methyl sulfoxides in a substitution reaction involving a carbanionic leaving group

    The effect of nitrogen atoms in the enantioselective oxidation of aryl or heteroaryl benzyl sulfides

    No full text
    Some aminophenyl benzyl sulfides or benzyl pyridyl sulfides were asymmetrically oxidized with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of a complex between titanium i-propoxide and (S, S)-hydrobenzoin, an oxidation system that works particularly well with a vast set of aryl benzyl sulfides. Notwithstanding the presence of nitrogen-containing moieties that, in principle, could interfere with the correct co-ordination of the sulfide to the metal center, satisfactory levels of enantioselectivity (up to 78%) were measured for this oxidation process
