Copper-catalysed conjugate addition to sulfinimines

The synthesis of a series of [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated sulfinimines is described. Their reaction in the presence of copper-based nucleophiles to yield 1,4-addition products is analysed in terms of yield and d.r. values and reported herein. After an introductory chapter, the first section of this th...
