Abstract
The diastereoselective α-hydroxylation of N-tert-butanesulfinyl metallodienenamine and metalloenamines with Davis oxaziridine affords α-hydroxy N-sulfinyl imines with 50-88% yield and up to 98:2 diastereomeric ratio. Dramatic changes in diastereoselectivity and stereoselectivity were observed by choice of metal bases. The mechanistic understanding for the switch in diastereoselectivity was assisted by DFT computational modeling, which suggests the facial approach is governed by aza-enolate geometry. A one-pot protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of 1,2-amino alcohols is described.
