Analysis of the mechanism of sulfoxide-lithium exchange and the reactive intermediate in stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH)

Creator:

Hoyt, Amanda

Abstract:

The stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) of boronic esters with enantioenriched carbenoid species generated in situ by the addition of organolithium initiators to stereodefined α-chloroalkyl aryl sulfoxides was previously reported. The reaction of an organolithium with an α-chloroalkyl aryl sulfoxide ostensibly generates an α-chloroalkyllithium via sulfoxide-lithium exchange; however, the true nature...
