The preparation of new and easily accessible chiral N-alkyloxaziridines for asymmetric sulfides oxidation was investigated. Most significantly, we report here that inert N-alkyloxaziridines can be activated by Lewis acids to achieve a fast, selective, and efficient oxygen atom transfer to sulfides. Asymmetric sulfoxidation by three new chiral oxaziridines (two of them were structurally characterized by X-ray analysis) afforded enantioselectivities ranging from 22% to 63% ee with the simplest aryl alkyl sulfides.
