1,1,1-Trifluoropropan-2-ammonium triflate enantiomers: stereoselective synthesis and direct use in reaction with epoxides
1,1,1-Trifluoropropan-2-ammonium triflate enantiomers: stereoselective synthesis and direct use in reaction with epoxides
A three-step synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanamine based on the use of a chiral sulfinamide auxiliary is described. The reduction of the geometrically pure Z-sulfinimine (NOE, HOE) with NaBH4 or L-Selectride leads to the corresponding (R)- or (S)-configured amine derivatives (X-ray crystallographic analysis) with 92–96% de. The typical models to explain the stereoselection for these reducing agents fail to rationalize the obtained stereoselectivities, and an in situ imine isomerization is proposed to occur. The direct use of the hydrochloric acid salt (with excess Et3N) of this poorly nucleophilic amine for epoxide opening reactions is not possible due to the higher nucleophilicity of chloride. Hence, a novel triflate salt is introduced, synthesized through ready sulfinamide hydrolysis with trimethylsilyl triflate, which can be used directly, without the need of isolating the pure amine beforehand.

Abstract
A three-step synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanamine based on the use of a chiral sulfinamide auxiliary is described. The reduction of the geometrically pure Z-sulfinimine (NOE, HOE) with NaBH4 or L-Selectride leads to the corresponding (R)- or (S)-configured amine derivatives (X-ray crystallographic analysis) with 92–96% de. The typical models to explain the stereoselection for these reducing agents fail to rationalize the obtained stereoselectivities, and an in situ imine isomerization is proposed to occur. The direct use of the hydrochloric acid salt (with excess Et3N) of this poorly nucleophilic amine for epoxide opening reactions is not possible due to the higher nucleophilicity of chloride. Hence, a novel triflate salt is introduced, synthesized through ready sulfinamide hydrolysis with trimethylsilyl triflate, which can be used directly, without the need of isolating the pure amine beforehand.
