Abstract
Enantioselective copper-catalysed oxidation of aryl -benzyl sulfides yields enantioenriched sulfoxides (up to 81% ee) in modest yield. This is the highest enantioselectivity reported using a copper catalyst in enantioselective sulfide oxidation. The enhancement of the enantioselectivity of this method through the use of -additives is discussed.
