Sulfoximines: Synthesis and Catalytic Applications

Chiral sulfoximines have a stereogenic center at the sulfur atom and their use in asymmetric synthesis is well established. Recently, sulfoximines have been recognized as an interesting new class of chiral ligands, which can be applied in various asymmetric metal catalyses. This review summarizes the latest progress in synthetic methods towards sulfoximines and the application of chiral derivatives in catalytic asymmetric reactions.
