Sulfone Group as a Versatile and Removable Directing Group for Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones
Clarkson, Guy J.,Vyas, Vijyesh K.,Wills, Martin

The sulfone functional group has a strong capacity to direct the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones in the presence of [(arene)Ru(TsDPEN)H] complexes by adopting a position distal to the η6-arene ring. This preference provides a
Enantioselective synthesis of α-hydroxy thioesters via oxazaborolidine- mediated reduction of α-phenylthio enones

α-Phenylthio-α,β-alkenones (2), readily available by Pd(II)-catalysed coupling of (E)-1 phenylthio-1-tributylstannylhex-1-ene with the corresponding acid chlorides have been treated with borane in the presence of phenylglycine- or proline-derived oxazaborolidines to afford 2-phenylthio-2- alken-1-ols (3) with good to excellent enantioselectivities. Ozonolysis of 3 provides a new and efficient route to chiral α-hydroxy thioesters 4.
