✦ Synopsis
Chiral tert-butylsulfinyl group has been shown to be the chiral auxiliary of choice for the asymmetric aziridination of N-sulfinyliminas. Moreover, the sense of the asymmetric induction can be tuned in two ways: the chirality at the tert-butylsulfinyl Sulfur, or the nature of the methylene transfer reagent used. Thus, both aziridines 10(Ss,S) and 10(Rs,R), epimeric at C-2, were obtained in enantiomerically pure form by a single crystallisation (75% yield).
