Indeed, a preliminary study, which utilized aldehyde A and imine B (Scheme 6) as the substrates to investigate the impact of a stereocenter adjacent to the reaction site, has established that the N-sulfinyl group determines the stereochemistry of the product C, whose structure was confirmed by X-ray crystallography (CCDC deposit no. 724597).
