摘要: A novel approach to produce chiral diaryl sulfoxides from aryl benzyl and bromides via an enantioselective arylation of sulfenate anions is reported. (JosiPhos)Pd-based catalyst successfully promotes the asymmetric reaction with good functional group compatibility. wide range enantioenriched diaryl, heteroaryl, even diheteroaryl were generated. Many prepared herein would be difficult prepare classic oxidation sulfides, including Ph(Ph-d5)SO (90% ee, 95% yield). DFT-based computational study suggested that induction originates two primary factors: (i) both a kinetic thermodynamic preference for oxidative addition places bromide trans JosiPhos-diarylphosphine moiety (ii) Curtin–Hammett-type control over interconversion between O- S-bound isomers palladium species following rapid re- si-bound transmetalation products, r...
