Application

(S)-(-)-2-Methyl-2-propanesulfinamide may be used to develop benzofuran-based farnesyltransferase inhibitors as anti-cancer agents. It may also be used to prepare (20E)-N-[t-butyl-(S)-sulfinyl]-3β-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-pregn-5-en-20-imine, an intermediate for the preparation of androgen receptor antagonists.
Can be readily transformed into P,N-sulfinyl imine ligands through condensation with aldehydes and ketones, which can undergo iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins.
Chiral auxiliary used in an asymmetric preparation of trifluoroethylamines by conversion of trifluoroacetaldehyde to a chiral imine followed by treatment with an aryl lithium and acidic methanolysis.
Useful reagent for synthesizing chiral amines.

Condensation of N-tert-butanesulfinamide (S)-1 with trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate 2a afforded 2-methyl-N-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylidene)propane-2-sulfinamide 3. Without isolation and purification, imine 3 was added to various aryllithium reagents to give highly diastereomerically enriched adducts 5a-g. Acidic methanolysis of 5a-g provided the desired 1-aryl-2,2,2-trifluoroethylamine hydrochloride compounds

The Ellman group has participated in the development of a variety of C-H functionalization methods. An electron rich phosphine ligand has proven to be very useful for a variety of Rh(I)-catalyzed C-C bond forming reactions applicable to heterocycle synthesis as exemplified in the recent Science paper “Proton Donor Acidity Controls Selectivity in Nonaromatic Nitrogen Heterocycle Synthesis.” Another useful ligand developed for the highly functional group compatible direct arylation of nitrogen heterocycles is described in a 2008 J. Am. Chem. Soc. paper “Rh(I)-Catalyzed Arylation of Heterocycles via C-H Bond Activation: Expanded Scope through Mechanistic Insight.” The Ellman group also developed the chiral amine reagent tert-Butanesulfinamide, which is extensively used in academics and industry for the asymmetric synthesis of amines. A comprehensive survey of tert-Butanesulfinamide methods and applications up through 2009 is provided in the 2010 Chemical Reviews article, “Synthesis and Applications of tert-Butanesulfinamide.”

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
