METHOD FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE SULFIMIDE COMPOUND USING OPTICALLY ACTIVE SALEN RUTHENIUM (II) COMPLEX

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an optically active sulfimide compound having extremely high enantio selectivity by using a readily available nitrene precursor. SOLUTION: An optically active salen ruthenium (II) complex represented by general formula (Ar<1> s are each independently a 10-16C aryl group) is used as a catalyst and an alkylaryl sulfide compound is subjected to asymmetric sulfimide formation reaction by using an arylsulfonylazide compound to give S-methyl-S-phenyl-p-toluenesulfimide, etc.
