Counteranion-mediated dynamic kinetic asymmetric fluorination to access sulfur-stereogenic center
The authors present a highly efficient strategy to synthesize sulfonimidoyl fluorides through dynamic kinetic asymmetric fluorination at mild reaction conditions. This one-pot process, involving sequential direct fluorination, hydrolysis, and asymmetric fluorination, delivers a wide range of enantioenriched S(VI) compounds with high enantioselectivities.
