Abstract

Novel chiral mono‐sulfinyl diamines bearing a stereogenic sulfur atom were prepared in moderate to good yields starting from amino acids by means of a reductive amination of the corresponding amino aldehydes. Their potential as ligands for asymmetric catalysis was evaluated in the metal‐catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of alkyl‐aryl ketones. The catalysts were generated in situ from sulfinamides 1a–i and arene complexes of rhodium and ruthenium, and the catalytic reductions led to the formation of chiral alcohols with up to 91 % ee.

A family of stereodefined, modular amino alcohols (3-alkoxy-1-amino-1-phenyl-2-propanols), in which the steric bulk of the alkoxy and amino substituents varies smoothly, has been synthesized from enantiomerically pure phenylglycidol, prepared by Sharpless epoxidation. These amino alcohols have been
