Synthesis of alkylated sugar amino acids: conformationally restricted L-Xaa-L-Ser/Thr mimics

Two synthetic strategies for the generation of delta-substituted pyranoid sugar amino acids (SAAs) are evaluated. The first employs chiral nonracemic tert-butane sulfinamides as key reagents. Regardless of the stereochemistry of the applied sulfinamide, the product formed has a stereochemistry resembling that of a d amino acid at C7. Direct Grignard reaction on formyl-tetra-O-benzyl-beta-D-C-glucopyranoside in the second strategy and subsequent Mitsunobu inversion, yields the l,l-dipeptide isosters.     

Metal‐Free Cross‐Coupling of Arylboronic Acids and Derivatives with DAST‐Type Reagents for Direct Access to Diverse Aromatic Sulfinamides and Sulfonamides

We have developed a simple and convenient method for the cross‐coupling of arylboronic acids and their derivatives with DAST‐type reagents under mild and metal‐free conditions to directly afford sulfinamides in moderate to good yields. Moreover, sulfonamides were obtained after a simple oxidation reaction. The reaction mechanism was investigated by ¹⁸O‐labeling experiments, and the synthetic utility was demonstrated by the sulfoxidation of natural products.     

A stereospecific synthesis of chiral cyclic sulfinamides

Treatment of racemic or enantiomerically pure 2,1-benzothiazines (cyclic sulfoximines) with lithium triethylborohydride results in clean loss of the S-aryl group with complete retention of configuration at sulfur to produce diastereomerically and/or enantiomerically pure cyclic sulfinamides in excellent yield.     

Cyclic sulfonimidates by dynamic diastereomer-differentiating cyclisation: large-scale synthesis and mechanistic studies

A dynamic diastereomer differentiating cyclisation is the key step in a new large-scale synthesis of both enantiomers of the cyclic sulfonimidates 1 (Aldrich no. 54099-4) and ent-1 (Aldrich no. 54412-4). These are valuable starting materials in the asymmetric synthesis of chiral oxa- and azaheterocyclic compounds. NMR spectroscopic studies on the reacting system reveal N-chloro sulfinamides to be reactive intermediates in the oxidative chlorination of sulfinamides with tert-butyl hypochlorite and allow for the inspection of the configurational behaviour of the involved sulfonimidoyl chlorides and sulfonimidoyl bromides.     

Access to Highly Functionalized Sulfonated Cyclopentanes by Acid‐Promoted Rauhut–Currier Reaction with Sulfinamides

An unexpected acid‐mediated cascade reaction induced by conjugate addition of sulfinamides to dienediones has been developed. This highly efficient Rauhut–Currier reaction enables the rapid, high‐yielding construction of sulfonated cyclopentanes with three contiguous stereogenic centers in a single operation starting from simple sulfinamides. This process constitutes the first example of sulfinamide‐promoted cycloisomerization.     

An Optimized Ni-catalyzed Chan-Lam Type Coupling: Enantioretentive Access to Chiral N-Aryl Sulfinamides

C−N bond formation takes on a critical significance in reactions of organic synthesis, material production and pharmaceutical manufactory. Chan-Lam has proposed a useful methodology to furnish secondary arylamides under mild conditions. However, when chiral sulfinamides serve as the coupling precursors, the Cu-catalyzed coupling reaction is found with low efficacy. Complex side-products are generated under classic conditions. Moreover, it led to the racemization of the coupling product. In this study, an optimized Ni-catalyzed Chan-Lam type coupling conditions were proposed, which resulted in clean conversion from chiral sulfinamides and arylboronic acids to offer N-aryl sulfinamides efficiently and enantioretentively. The trans-N¹,N²-dimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine was proven as the most efficient ligand. Under the optimized conditions, a series of chiral N-aryl sulfinamides was prepared with high chemical yield without racemization. Furthermore, a plausible and novel mechanism was proposed. Interestingly, the method could efficiently furnish a wide variety of C−X bonds by coupling arylboronic acids with different nucleophiles.     

Electrochemical oxidation of N-p-toluenesulfinamides

[reaction: see text] Contrasting and interesting electrochemical behavior is observed in anodic oxidation of N-substituted p-toluenesulfinamides under controlled current conditions. For sulfinamides derived from secondary alkylamines and primary arylamines, the N-sulfinyl group is removed and the corresponding amines are formed; for sulfinamides derived from primary alkylamines, sulfur oxidation yields the corresponding sulfonamides in good yields.

MASS SPECTROMETRY OF SULFINAMIDES AND SULFINATE ESTERS

Abstract

The low resolution mass spectra of alkyl and aryl sulfinamides containing alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl and cyclic amine functions were recorded and the major fragmentation modes were elucidated with the aid of metastable peaks. In addition, the behavior of a variety of sulfinate esters upon electron-impact was similarly established.     

Efficient Synthesis of Cyclic Sulfoximines from N-Propargylsulfinamides through Sulfur–Carbon Bond Formation

Cyclic sulfoximines were readily synthesized by the cyclization of N-propargylsulfinamides without using expensive and toxic metal catalysts. This cyclization proceeded without loss of optical purity of chiral sulfinamides through the unusual sulfur–carbon bond formation promoted by an inexpensive inorganic base. This stereospecific cyclization offers a general approach to the asymmetric synthesis of chiral cyclic sulfoximines as an emerging heterocycle in medicinal chemistry.     

Asymmetric Synthesis of Chiral Sulfoximines through the S‐Alkylation of Sulfinamides

Innovation in drug discovery critically depends on the development of new bioisosteric groups. Chiral sulfoximines, which contain a tetrasubstituted sulfur atom that bears one nitrogen, one oxygen, and two different carbon substituents, represent an emerging chiral bioisostere in medicinal chemistry. Chiral sulfoximines are conventionally prepared by a stereospecific nitrene transfer reaction to chiral sulfoxides; however, the number of readily available chiral sulfoxides remains limited. Herein, we report the asymmetric synthesis of a class of hitherto difficult‐to‐access chiral sulfoximines with two structurally similar alkyl chains. Our synthetic approach is based on the sulfur‐selective alkylation of easily accessible chiral sulfinamides with commercially available reagents under simple and safe conditions. This stereospecific S‐alkylation offers a general and scalable approach to the asymmetric synthesis of chiral sulfoximines, which represent important substructures in bioactive molecules.     

Iron/copper co-catalyzed highly selective arylation of sulfinamides with aryl iodides

In the present study, an inexpensive but efficient Iron(III) and Copper(II) co-catalyst without ligands catalyzed arylation of sulfinamides with aryl iodide was primarily reported. In brief, in the presence of Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O, CuO and K₃PO₄, the highly selective C–N cross coupling of several sulfinamides and aryl iodides was achieved in high chemical yield, while the aryl chlorides and bromides could not yield coupling products. It is noteworthy that through the arylation of chiral tert-butanesulfinamide with aryl iodides, N-aryl tert-butanesulfinamides are provided without racemization, even in gram-scale. The possible mechanism was that This oxidative addition process between copper catalyst and aryl-iodides might be significantly accelerated by active Fe(III) species. Moreover, using this synthetic method, a facile and efficient access was developed for the derivatives of N-phenyl sulfinamides, which might help to develop new drug molecules and material chemicals.     

Asymmetric synthesis of sulfinamides using (-)-quinine as chiral auxiliary

A process has been designed and demonstrated for the asymmetric synthesis of sulfinamides using quinine as auxiliary. A variety of chiral sulfinamides including N-alkyl sulfinamides with diverse structure were prepared in good yields and excellent enantioselectivity starting from easily available and inexpensive reagents. The auxiliary quinine could be recovered and recycled.     

Impregnated ruthenium on magnetite as a recyclable catalyst for the N-alkylation of amines, sulfonamides, sulfinamides, and nitroarenes using alcohols as electrophiles by a hydrogen autotransfer process

Various impregnated metallic salts on magnetite have been prepared, including cobalt, nickel, copper, ruthenium, and palladium salts, as well as a bimetallic palladium-copper derivative. Impregnated ruthenium catalyst is a versatile, inexpensive, and simple system for the selective N-monoalkylation of amino derivatives with poor nucleophilic character, such as aromatic and heteroaromatic amines, sulfonamides, sulfinamides, and nitroarenes, using in all cases alcohols as the initial source of the electrophile, through a hydrogen autotransfer process. In the case of sulfinamides, this is the first time that these amino compounds have been alkylated following this strategy, allowing the use of chiral sulfinamides and secondary alcohols to give the alkylated compound with a diastereomeric ratio of 92:8. In these cases, after alkylation, a simple acid deprotection gave the expected primary amines in good yields. The ruthenium catalyst is quite sensitive, and small modifications of the reaction medium can change the final product. The alkylation of amines using potassium hydroxide renders the N-monoalkylated amines, and the same protocol using sodium hydroxide yields the related imines. The catalyst can be easily removed by a simple magnet and can be reused up to ten times, showing the same activity.

The formations of the oxidation products rac-cis- 6 as well as 3-hydroperoxy and 3-hydroxy sultams, 8 and 9 , respectively, and isothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxides 10 are presented.
