title: Catalytic asymmetric oxidation of N-sulfonyl imines with hydrogen peroxide-trichloroacetonitrile system.
abstract: An efficient and highly enantioselective Payne-type oxidation of N-sulfonyl imines is developed. The reaction exhibits broad substrate generality and unique chemoselectivity based on the combined use of hydrogen peroxide and trichloroacetonitrile under the catalysis of P-spiro chiral triaminoiminophosphorane.
