We describe herein a versatile methodology for the synthesis of 1,2‐sulfoximidoyl ethanols thanks to a Ca(NTf2)2‐catalyzed epoxide ring‐opening with NH sulfoximines in 2‐MeTHF at 90 °C. The reaction is regioselective by an attack on the less hindered position of the epoxides. The chemoselectivity is assessed by competition reactions with other nucleophiles.
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.
