Reaction of branched allylic sulfides with the N-Boc-oxaziridine 1 results in [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the intermediate allylic N-Boc-sulfimides with a high level of chirality transfer. The first example of formation of a quaternary stereocenter using this transformation is reported.
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.
