“…[9] Owing to the interest of heterocyclic compounds in medicinal chemistry, different strategies to access cyclic sulfoximines have also been developed, especially for the synthesis of 6membered and benzo-fused derivatives. [10] The preparation of 5-membered cyclic sulfoximines remains less explored [11] and their synthesis in enantiopure form is limited to rather rare examples. [11c,e,f,h] Following our studies on the synthesis of enantiopure oxygenated propargyl-sulfinamides, [12] we envisioned that these unique substrates could provide an easy access to unprecedented enantiopure 5-membered endocyclic sulfoximines, through a simple cycloisomerization reaction, capitalizing on the activation of the electron-rich oxygenated triple bond by p-acidic transition metal catalysts.…”
