A highly diastereoselective addition of i-BuLi to a triethylmethylsulfinamide derived aldimine was used as the key step in the first asymmetric synthesis of (R)-didesmethylsibutramine, a metabolite of sibutramine for the potential treatment of CNS disorders. [reaction: see text]
Simple and practical asymmetric synthesis of functionally differentiated aminoindanol based endo-N-sulfonyl 1,2,3-oxathiazolidine-2-oxide as sulfinyl transfer agents are developed. The importance of these new and unique sulfinyl transfer reagents are exemplified by the expedient production of several sulfinamide ligands, including either enantiomer of (R)-tert-butanesulfinamide in excellent yields and enantiopurities.
