Abstract

Tandem sulfonium ylide formation and [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement sequence from allylic sulfides and diazoacetates has been effected by using dirhodium(II) tetrakis[3(S)-phthalimido-2-piperidinonate], Rh2(S-PTPI)4, as a chiral catalyst, displaying enantioselectivities of up to 58%. It has been demonstrated that the [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement proceeds through chiral, nonracemic free sulfonium ylides dissociated from the dirhodium(II) complex.
