An increasing number of reports is being published on the NMR methods that enable the elucidation of the absolute configuration of chiral secondary alcohols, 1 amines, 2 and carboxylic acids. 3 In respect to chiral sulfoxides, however, there have been very few methods to determine their absolute configuration except for X-ray crystallography, although the sulfinyl moiety is an important functional group that is frequently found in biologically active natural products and synthetic drugs. 9-Anthryl-1, 1, 1-trifluoroethanol, 4 R-methoxyphenylacetic acid, 5 and (R)-(-)-N-(3, 5-dinitrobenzoyl)-R-phenylethylamine6 have been developed as the NMR reagents for deducing the absolute configuration of sulfoxides. These reagents form complexes by hydrogen bonds between their acidic OH groups and the oxygen atom of the sulfoxide, and because of the instability of the complexes, the chemical shift differences between the diastereomeric complexes are usually very small or in some cases nonsystematic, which makes these methods somewhat uncertain. Difficulty in assuming the stable conformation of the fragile complexes may also be an intrinsic drawback of these methods. We considered that, if a certain chiral anisotropic reagent7 could be covalently bonded to the stereogenic sulfur or the sulfoxide oxygen, the anisotropic effect from the aromatic ring of the chiral auxiliary would be more significant than the conventional hydrogen-bonded complexes. Introduction of a chiral anisotropic moiety at the sulfoxide oxygen seems less promising because the Pummerer rearrangement8 would occur on acylation, and the information on the chirality would thus be lost. Therefore, we focused on amination of sulfoxide with O-mesitylsulfonylhydroxylamine9 which proceeded with complete retention of chirality at the sulfur atom. 10 The strategy of our method is outlined in Scheme 1.When an amino group is introduced at the stereogenic sulfur atom,(R)-and (S)-methoxyphenylacetic acids can be introduced specifically at the nitrogen atom. The stable conformation of the resulting N-(methoxyphenylacetyl) sulfoximine is easily deduced to be [I], 11 because the alternative conformations [II] and [III] will be destablized by the serious dipole-dipole repulsion between the electronegative atoms. The absolute configurations will be
