Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a method to create chiral 2-(alkylsulfinyl)phenol compounds through an enantioselective coordination-oxidation process involving thioether ruthenium complexes.
- The synthesis involved forming enantiomerically pure sulfoxide complexes by reacting specific ruthenium complexes with prochiral thioether ligands, followed by oxidation.
- The research confirmed the stability of these chiral complexes and demonstrated their ability to generate specific sulfoxide ligands based on the configuration of the ruthenium center, achieving high enantiomeric excess in the final products.
