Chiral benzazaboroles as catalysts for enantioselective sulfonylation of cis-1,2-diols†
Abstract
A newly developed benzazaborole smoothly catalyzed the enantioselective sulfonylation of cis-1,2-diols. Using a chiral benzazaborole/NMI co-catalyst system, various sulfonate esters were prepared in high yields with good enantioselectivities.
