title: The diastereoselective alkylation of arenesulfenate anions using homochiral electrophiles.
abstract: A series of Boc-protected β-amino sulfoxides were prepared by the reaction of arenesulfenate anions with chiral Boc-protected β-amino iodides. The stereoselective substitution reaction is believed to arise through precoordination of the sulfenate counterion with the nitrogen lone pair of the electrophile.
