The invention discloses a beta-sulfinyl
imide ester-based aza-
sulfur chiral center asymmetric construction method, which comprises the following steps: adding a beta-sulfinyl
imide ester compound, a catalyst and an alkaline compound into an
organic solvent, cooling the reaction mixture to-40 DEG C, stirring for 3 minutes, then adding a halogenated
alkane compound, and reacting for 3 minutes at the temperature of-40 DEG C to obtain the aza-
sulfur chiral center asymmetric construction method based on beta-sulfinyl
imide ester. And continuously stirring at-40 DEG C for 48 hours, and after the reaction is finished, purifying through rapid
column chromatography to obtain the target product chiral thioimine. The
molar ratio of the beta-sulfinyl imide ester compound to the halogenated
alkane compound is 1: 1.5. The
organic solvent is one of
diethyl ether,
ethyl acetate,
tetrahydrofuran,
acetonitrile and methylbenzene. According to the method disclosed by the invention, beta-sulfinyl imide ester is used as a
sulfinamide anion precursor, so that the problems that the
structural diversity of a target product depends on initial raw materials and the chemical space is limited in the existing method are effectively solved, the structural range of the aza-
sulfur chiral center is remarkably expanded, and the preparation method is simple, mild in reaction condition and free of expensive reagents.
