Abstract
The condensation of allenylzinc (±)-1 onto N -tert -butanesulfinimines (±)-2 leads to the corresponding trans -ethynyl N -sulfinylaziridines with an excellent diastereoselection.
Key words

Typical Procedure for the Synthesis of Ethynyl
N
-Sulfinylaziridines (±)-3: To a 0.1 M etheral solution of 3-chloro-1-trimethylsilylpropyne (1.0 equiv) under
nitrogen atmosphere TMEDA (1.0 equiv) and n- BuLi (2.2 M in hexanes, 1.0 equiv) were successively added at -95 °C. The yellow solution
was stirred 5 min at -95 °C and an 1.0 M etheral solution of ZnBr2 (1.0 equiv) was added dropwise. The resulting white suspension of allenylzinc bromide
(±)-1 was then allowed to warm up to r.t. and a 0.3 M etheral solution of sulfinimine (±)-2 (0.66 to 0.16 equiv) was immediately added. After 18 h stirring at r.t., the solution
was quenched with a 30% aq NH3 /sat. aq NH4 Cl, a 1:2 solution. The layers were separated and the aqueous one was extracted with
Et2 O (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with H2 O and brine, dried over anhyd Na2 SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residual brownish oil was purified by flash chromatography
over silica gel to give the corresponding diastereomerically pure trans -ethynyl N -sulfinylaziridine (±)-3 .

In the case of N -sulfonylimines, for which low selectivities are obtained (see ref. 10a), such a coordination
of the zinc by the sulfonyl group has not been envisaged because of weak Lewis basicity
of both nitrogen and oxygen atoms.
