“…7a,8,15 However, to the best of our knowledge, the KR of racemic sulfoximines bearing two different aryl groups has been scarcely documented. 16 With our continuous interest in developing novel KR methods for alcohols and amines, 17 herein we present the KR of racemic sulfoximines bearing both S,S-diaryl-and aryl,alkyl-disubstitutions, through the CPA-catalyzed dehydrative cyclization reaction. Notably, this approach enables the direct synthesis of chiral benzothiadiazine-1-oxide, a type of cyclic sulfoximines of significance importance in medicinal chemistry, especially those inaccessible by the previous TM-catalyzed desymmetrization methods (Figure 1d)…”
