Abstract

Self-condensation of tert-butanesulfinimine 5 was realized in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride to afford α,β-unsaturated sulfinimine 8 in moderate to high yields with high geometric selectivities. The synthesized α,β-unsaturated sulfinimine 8 was demonstrated to be a versatile intermediate for the syntheses of enal 4 and chiral allyl amine 11.

Key words

tert-butanesulfinimine - self-condensation - tetrabutylammonium fluoride - enal - chiral allyl amine

Representative Procedure of Self-Condensation: To a solution of 5 (1 mmol) in anhyd Et₂O (10 mL) was added anhyd TBAF (1.2 mmol, dried by P₂O₅ in vacuum condition). The biphasic mixture was stirred at r.t. for 30 min and then diluted with Et₂O (30 mL). After washing of the mixture with sat. NaCl solution, the solvent was evaporated to give a residue. The residue was either subjected to chromatography to give α,β-unsaturated sulfinimine 8 and tert-butanesulfinamide 9, or was subjected to hydrolysis to give enal 4.

Representative Procedure of Grignard Addition to 8c: To a solution of 8c (1 mmol) in anhyd CH₂Cl₂ (10 mL) at 0 °C was added Grignard reagent (3 equiv). After being stirred for 1-5 h, the mixture was poured into sat. NH₄Cl solution, and the solution was extracted with CH₂Cl₂. The combined organic phases were dried with Na₂SO₄. After removing the solvent, the residue was subjected to chromatography to give allyl amine 11. The dr was determined by ¹H NMR analysis of crude 11. The absolute configuration of amine in 11 was not determined due to lack of comparable rotation data of structurally similar chiral amine.
