摘要
The formation of chiral amine intermediates with chiral tert-butanesulfinamide and their applications in asymmetric natural product synthesis in recent years are summarized. tert-Butanesulfinamide has attracted wide attention from chemists because it is stable, commercially available with reasonable price, ease to use, and usually induces high diastereoselectivity in the reactions involved. This review is divided into two sections, including the addition of nucleophiles to N-tert-butanesulfinyl imines and the addition of N-tert-butanesulfinyl metalloenamines to electrophiles.
