title: Diastereoselective addition reactions of furyl sulfonylimine using chiral boronates as auxiliary: application to the enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted furyl sulfonylamides.
abstract: The addition reactions of various nucleophiles to a furyl sulfonylimine bearing a chiral boronate at the C-3 position furnished chromatographically separable diastereomers. The R diastereoselection was found to be more favorable. Further transformation of C-B bonds to C-C bonds was achieved by using standard Suzuki coupling conditions to give optically active 2,3-disubstituted furyl sulfonylamides.
