Asymmetric Synthesis of N-Aryl Sulfinamides: Copper(I)-Catalyzed Coupling of Sulfinamides with Aryl Iodides via Kinetic Resolution.

Abstract An asymmetric synthesis of N-aryl sulfinamides was achieved through copper-catalyzed coupling reactions of aryl iodides with sulfinamides. Such a kinetic resolution process provided the desired coupling products in moderate to good yields and with moderate enantioselectivities.
