Abstract

On the Utility of S-Mesitylsulfinimines for the Stereoselective Synthesis of ChiralAmines and Aziridines. -The S-mesitylsulfinimines are a useful alternative. In comparison to tert-butylsulfinimines, larger nucleophiles can be used and in comparison to the para-tolylsulfinyl group the S-mesitylsulfinyl group can be removed from aziridines by mild acidic conditions. Furthermore, they are readily available and UV active. -(ROE, C.; SOLA, T. M.; SASRAKU-NEEQUAYE, L.; HOBBS, H.; CHURCHER, I.; MACPHERSON, D.; STOCKMAN*, R. A.; Chem. Commun.
