  • Stereocontrolled fluorobenzylation of vinyl sulfones and α,β-unsaturated esters mediated by a remote Sulfinyl Group. Synthesis of functionalized enantiomerically pure benzylic fluorides.
    Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012
    Co-Authors: José L. García Ruano, José A. Fernández-salas, M. Carmen Maestro
    Abstract:

    A Sulfinyl Group in an ortho position confers enough chemical and configurational stability to monofluorobenzylcarbanions to evolve in a completely stereoselective way in their reactions with β-substituted vinyl sulfones and α,β-unsaturated esters. Reactions afford easily separable mixtures of two epimers differing in the configuration of the center derived from the Michael acceptor (up to 98% de). They can be easily converted into enantiomerically pure γ-fluorinated γ-phenylsulfones and γ-phenylesters bearing two chiral centers.

  • Asymmetric synthesis of (S)-(-)-xylopinine. Use of the Sulfinyl Group as an ipso director in aromatic SE.
    Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2011
    Co-Authors: Virginia M. Mastranzo, Francisco Yuste, Benjamín Ortiz, Rubén Sánchez-obregón, Rubén A. Toscano, José L. García Ruano
    Abstract:

    Optically pure (S)-(−)-xylopinine 2 was prepared in three steps in 52% overall yield. Thus, condensation of the carbanion derived from (S)-4 with the (S)-(E)-Sulfinylimine 5 gave a 2:1 mixture of tetrahydroisoquinolines 6a and 6b, differing only in configuration at sulfur. N-DeSulfinylation of this mixture gave the diastereomeric sulfoxides which, without separation, were converted into (S)-(−)-xylopinine (2) with loss of the Sulfinyl moieties under Pictet–Spengler conditions. This unprecedented ipso electrophilic substitution of a Sulfinyl Group may have synthetic implications beyond that described in this work.

  • Asymmetric synthesis of benzylic quaternary difunctionalized carbons mediated by a remote Sulfinyl Group.
    Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2011
    Co-Authors: José L. García Ruano, Esther Torrente, Ana M. Martín-castro
    Abstract:

    Enantiomerically enriched α-aryl α-cyanoacetates and α-aryl α-acylacetonitriles bearing a benzylic quaternary stereocenter have been readily synthesized by stereoselective reaction of 2-alkyl-2-[2-(p-tolylSulfinyl)phenyl]acetonitriles with different acylating and alkoxycarbonylating reagents under basic conditions. The stereoselectivity of the reactions proved closely dependent on the nature of the intermediate carbanionic species, the evolution of which was effectively controlled by a Sulfinyl Group as a remote chiral auxiliary.

  • Complete Stereocontrol in Organocatalytic Additions of β‐Ketosulfoxides to Conjugated Aldehydes
    Chemistry: A European Journal, 2011
    Co-Authors: José L. García Ruano, Cuauhtemoc Alvarado, Sergio Díaz-tendero, José Alemán
    Abstract:

    The use of β-ketosulfoxides as nucleophiles in reactions with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes catalyzed by proline derivatives allows complete control of configuration at the two chiral centers that are created during 1,4-addition reactions. The Sulfinyl Group can be used to create additional chiral centers in the resulting compounds and then removed while preserving the chirality of the carbon joined to the sulfur. The catalyst and the Sulfinyl Group are mainly responsible for the configurational control of the carbon atoms acting as electrophile and nucleophile, respectively, which allows the preparation of the four possible diastereoisomers in optically pure form. Theoretical calculations of the possible chiral nucleophilic species bearing diastereotopic faces allow us to postulate, for the first time, that enolates, instead of enols, are the active reagents in these reactions.

  • stereoselective synthesis of 2 3 epoxy alcohols mediated by a remote Sulfinyl Group
    Tetrahedron, 2010
    Co-Authors: José L. García Ruano, Francisco Tato, Esther Torrente, Saverio Florio, A M Martincastro, Giovanna M Tocco, Vito Capriati
    Abstract:

    The influence of the Sulfinyl Group as a chiral auxiliary in the stereoselective addition of oxiranyllithiums to (S)-2-p-tolylSulfinylbenzaldehyde has been studied. All reactions evolve with retention of configuration at the starting lithiated carbon. Completely stereoselective additions have been observed when configurations at sulfur and the lithiated carbon are different (matched pair), whereas variable dr's values (ranging between 52:48 and >99:<1%) when they are identical (mismatched pair).
