The recent progress of asymmetric synthesis with organo-sulfur compounds involving chiral or achiral sulfur atoms, is reviewed.
The asymmetric synthetic methods are classified into the type of structure of the organo-sulfur reagents used ; sulfoxides, sulfinic esters, sulfinarnides, sulfoximines, sulfur ylides, sulfenamides, thiols, sulfides, sulfones, and heterocyclic compounds involving sulfur atoms. At the most part, asymmetric syntheses using readily available chiral organo-sulfur compounds such as sulfoxides as chiral sources are described, classified into the type of reactions ; addition of α-sulfinylcarbanions to carbonyl groups of ketones or aldehydes, addition to imines and nitriles, Michael additions, and rearrangements.
