Atropisomer-selective ligand-coupling reactions of sulfoxides. X-Ray molecular and crystal structures for 2-(thiophen-3-yl>amino)-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 2-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,3-dihydronaphthoisothiazol-3-one and (R)-(+)-2-bromo-1-(tert...

1-(Alkyl- or aryl-sulfinyl)naphthalenes activated by electron-withdrawing substituents at the 2-position undergo substitution reactions on treatment with Grignard reagents.Evidence suggesting that these transformations proceed through ligand-coupling reactions of ?-sulfuranes is presented.The ligand-coupling reaction of homochiral sulfoxides with 1-naphthylmagnesium bromide furnishes atropisomeric 1,1'-binaphthyls in 60-95percent ee.Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations have been carried out on 2-(thiophen-3-yl>amino)-2-methylpropan-1-ol 18 and 2-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethylethyl)-2,3-dihydronaphthoisothiazol-3-one 22, compounds formed through intramolecular nucleophilic and electrophilic attack, respectively, on a neighbouring oxazoline group.The absolute configuration of (R)-(+)-1-(tert-butylsulfinyl)naphthalene 27 was determined by a single-crystal X-ray study of the 2-bromo-derivative 28.
