Abstract
The synthesis of a variety of chiral sulfilimines and sulfoximines is described. The amination of thioethers with a chiral N-mesyloxycarbamate was achieved in high yields and stereoselectivities using Rh2[(S)-nttl]4 as catalyst in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and a pyridinium salt, such as bis(DMAP)CH2Cl2 or a viologen salt. These additives proved instrumental to enhance both the yield and the stereochemical discrimination of the reaction. Mechanistic studies and control experiments have elucidated the role of these additives. DMAP served as an apical ligand for the rhodium catalyst: an X-ray crystal structure of the (DMAP)2·[Rh2{(S)-nttl}4] complex was obtained. This complex displayed a lower and irreversible redox potential. Control experiments with preformed Rh(II)-Rh(III) complex suggested such a catalytically active species in the thioether amination process. Diastereoselectivities were influenced by the sulfonyloxy leaving group, ruling out the possibility of a common metal nitrene species and instead suggesting a rhodium-nitrenoid complex. It is believed that the bispyridinium salt played the role of a phase transfer catalyst, influencing both the yield and the diastereoselectivity of the reaction.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
