The asymmetric oxidation of prochiral 2-(arylsulfenyl)pyrroles has been investigated. A marked
electronic effect within the substrate significantly influenced the degree of enantioselectivity
obtained, with very high enantio selectivity being obtained for
5-(nitrobenzensulfenyl)pyrrole-2-carboxaldehydes using Ti(i-PrO)(4)/(+)-(R,R)-DET/H(2)O/CHP. This
result bodes well for optimizing the asymmetric oxidation of other diaryl sulfides, substrates that
have previously given only low enantiomeric excesses.
