Deracemization of a Racemic Allylic Sulfoxide Using Viedma Ripening
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite the importance of enantiopure chiral sulfoxides, few methods exist that allow for their deracemization. Here, we show that an enantiopure sulfoxide can be produced from the corresponding racemate using Viedma ripening involving rearrangement-induced racemization. The suitable candidate for Viedma ripening was identified from a library of 24 chiral sulfoxides through X-ray structure determination. Starting from the racemic sulfoxide, an unprecedented application of a 2,3-sigmatropic rearrangement type racemization in a Viedma ripening process allowed for complete deracemization.

Directing the Viedma ripening of ethylenediammonium sulfate using "Tailor-made" chiral additives.
Both enantiomers of trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diammonium sulfate and trans-1,2-diphenylethylenediammonium sulfate were used as "tailor-made" additives to direct the mirror-symmetry breaking in the attrition-enhanced deracemization (i.e. Viedma ripening) of conglomerate crystals of ethylenediammonium sulfate (EDS). Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) shows chiral recognition of (1R,2R)- and (1S,2...
متن کاملSolid Phase Deracemization of an Atropisomer
The scope of Viedma ripening and temperature cycling with respect to chiral molecules has remained mostly limited to molecules with a single stereogenic center, while racemization proceeds through inversion at that particular stereocenter. In this article we demonstrate for the first time that atropisomers, chiral rotamers that possess an axis of chirality, can be successfully deracemized in th...

An efficient, quantitative deracemization strategy for optically inactive allylic cycloalkanols has been achieved using the biphasic halogenative semi-pinacol reaction protocol. The resultant β-halo spiroketones, containing three contiguous stereogenic centers, were easily recovered with high diastereomeric and enantiomeric purities following conventional silica gel chromatography. The opticall...
متن کاملViedma ripening: a reliable crystallisation method to reach single chirality.
Crystallisation processes have evolved to practical methods that allow isolation of an enantiopure product in high yield. Viedma ripening in particular enables access to enantiopure products in a reliable way, simply through grinding of crystals in a solution. This tutorial review covers the basic principles behind asymmetric crystallisation processes, with an emphasis on Viedma ripening, and s...
