In this account the reactions of chiral N-tert-butylsulfinyl imines with organometallic reagents such as organoalkaline (lithium, sodium, potassium and cesium derivatives), organomagnesium, organozinc, organoboron, organoaluminium, organoindium and organosilicon compounds is comprehensively described. The reactivity in all cases is derived to synthetic applications in order to prepare interesting organic nitrogenated molecules, especially in the field of alkaloid compounds.
Keywords: Grignard reagents; N-tert-butylsulfinyl imines; organoalkaline compounds; organoaluminum derivatives; organoboron compounds; organoindium and organosilicon compounds.; organozinc reagents.
