Abstract
Microwave-promoted condensation of carbonyl compounds with (R)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide under solvent-free conditions in the presence of Ti(OEt)4 enables a simple, environmentally friendly synthesis of optically pure N-(tert-butylsulfinyl)imines. Sulfinyl aldimines can be prepared with excellent yields and purities in only 10 min, whereas the reaction time for the preparation of ketimines has been extended to 1 h.
