Application

Ellman′s Sulfinamides
(S)-(-)-2-Methyl-2-propanesulfinamide may be used to develop benzofuran-based farnesyltransferase inhibitors as anti-cancer agents. It may also be used to prepare (20E)-N-[t-butyl-(S)-sulfinyl]-3β-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-pregn-5-en-20-imine, an intermediate for the preparation of androgen receptor antagonists.
Can be readily transformed into P,N-sulfinyl imine ligands through condensation with aldehydes and ketones, which can undergo iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins.
Chiral auxiliary used in an asymmetric preparation of trifluoroethylamines by conversion of trifluoroacetaldehyde to a chiral imine followed by treatment with an aryl lithium and acidic methanolysis.
Useful reagent for synthesizing chiral amines.

Condensation of N-tert-butanesulfinamide (S)-1 with trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate 2a afforded 2-methyl-N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)propane-2-sulfinamide 3. Without isolation and purification, imine 3 was added to various aryllithium reagents to give highly diastereomerically enriched adducts 5a-g. Acidic methanolysis of 5a-g provided the desired 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride compounds

Addition of alkyl or aryl Grignard reagents to N-sulfinyl imines derived from 3- and 4-substituted cyclohexanones proceeds with good yields and with excellent diasteroselectivity. The selectivity of the reaction is controlled by the ring substituent rather than the sulfinyl group
