50. 2), similar to its imime precursor; while for polar 1,2-addition to sulfinimines directly yielding a sterically demanding tetrahedral (metallated) N-anion, such R-sulfinyl interaction becomes the determining factor (ref 18a). In the latter case, the shift in hybridization state of nitrogen could also affect the conformation of the sulfinyl group.
51. In most polar additions to sulfinimines, coordination of substrate O/N atoms to metal cation was proposed to explain the observed stereoselectivity. If anionic cyclization mechanism predominated in the present case, chelation of the hydroxyl and the sulfinylamino groups to Sm(III) would afford either the cis- products or the opposite sense of chiral induction.
