Asymmetric radical alkylation of N-sulfinimines under visible light photocatalytic conditions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2017 Jul 6;53(55):7764-7767. doi: 10.1039/c7cc03724d.

Abstract

In this communication, a new photocatalytic strategy for the addition of alkyl-radical derivatives to N-sulfinimines with complete diastereoselectivity and moderate to good yields is presented. This is the first asymmetric photocatalytic addition to N-sulfinimines under visible light irradiation with smooth conditions and functional group tolerance.
