Asymmetric syntheses of the iodomethyl-substituted bicyclic tetrahydrofuran 22 and the chloro-amino sulfone 30 from the allylic sulfoximine 15 and the alpha-hetero aldehydes 2 and 23, respectively, are described. Further examples for the asymmetric synthesis of chloromethyl tetrahydrofurans and chloro-amino sulfones are given. The synthesis of 30 features as key step the stereoselective Cl-substitution of a hydroxy group under neighboring group participation by an aminosulfoxonium group which is converted to a sulfonyl group.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
