Hx. Wei et al., Asymmetric synthesis of beta-monosubstituted and beta,beta-disubstituted N-(p-toluenesulfinyl)-alpha-(aminoalkyl)acrylates via anionic additions of (alpha-carbalkoxyvinyl)cuprates to thiooxime S-oxides, TETRAHEDR-A, 10(4), 1999, pp. 661-665
A series of new Baylis-Hillman adducts, beta-monosubstituted and beta,beta-
disubstituted N-(p-toluenesulfinyl)-alpha-(aminoalkyl)acrylates has been sy
nthesized via asymmetric nucleophilic additions of (alpha-carbalkoxyvinyl)c
uprates to chiral p-toluenesulfinimines. Modest to good yields (52.0-72.0%)
and excellent diastereoselectivity (>90% de) have been obtained. The Z/E s
electivity was found to be effected by solvents or cosolvents. (C) 1999 Els
