Ad iastereoselective [2,3] rearrangement of O-silyl N-sulfinyl N,O-ketene acetals derived from chiral N-acyl tertbutanesulfinamides was developed, giving a-sulfenyloxy carboxamides with excellent enantioselectivity.E nolization and subsequent silylation of N-acyl tert-butanesulfinamides initiate this aza variant of the Mislow-Evans rearrangement, in which the chirality at the sulfur atom in the rearrangement precursors is faithfully transferred to the a-carbon stereocenter of the products.T he Ellman sulfinamide,o ften used as ac hiral ammonia equivalent, can serve in this rearrangement as ac hiral precursor for the asymmetric synthesis of a-oxygenfunctionalizedc arboxamides.
