I. Fernandez et al., A generalization of the base effect on the diastereoselective synthesis ofsulfinic and phosphinic esters, TETRAHEDR L, 40(10), 1999, pp. 2029-2032
Various chiral secondary alcohols have been used to study the dependence or
the stereochemical outcome or sulfinate and phosphinate ester synthesis on
the nature ol. the base used to catalyse the reaction. From this study it
has been shown that the achiral stereodirecting base effect determined in t
he DAG methodology is a general behaviour in the asymmetric synthesis of su
lfinate and phosphinate esters. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
