Chiral sulfoximines with stereogenic sulfur atoms are promising motifs in drug discovery.W ereport an efficient method to access chiral sulfoximines through aC ÀHfunctionalization based kinetic resolution. Ar hodium(III) complex equipped with ac hiral Cp x ligand selectively participates in conjunction with phthaloyl phenylalanine in the C À Ha ctivation of just one of the two sulfoximine enantiomers.T he intermediate reacts with various diazoc ompounds,p roviding access to chiral 1,2-benzothiazines with synthetically valuable substitution patterns.B oth sulfoximines and 1,2-benzothiazines were obtained in high yields and excellent enantioselectivity,w ith s-values of up to 200. The utility of the method is illustrated by the synthesis of the key intermediates of two pharmacologically relevant kinase inhibitors.
