Herein, we describe an example of catalytic asymmetric synthesis of sulfinamides. Aromatic sulfenamides were chosen as useful substrates, because of the indispensable N–H bond, which could form an efficient hydrogen bond with chiral phosphoric acid. H2O2 (35%) was used as the terminal oxidant for preparation of sulfinamides in high yields and enantioselectivities, which could be easily derivatized to sulfoxides and other sulfinamides without loss of the enantioselectivity.
Ma et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
