1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Transition metal-catalysed asymmetric nitrene transfer provides a powerful means to access various bioactive N-containing compounds as single enantiomers. However, enantioselective NH transfer that allows concise assembly of unprotected enantioenriched amines remains an enduring challenge. We report here an iron-catalysed stereoselective NH imidation of sulfoxide, which is integrated with photocatalytic racemisation of sulfoxide, enabling a dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) strategy for direct and asymmetric synthesis of NH-sulfoximines. This approach is distinct from the existing methods by avoiding protecting group manipulations and/or the use of chiral substrates. Computational studies on the NH imidation reaction suggest the involvement of an iron-aminyl radical intermediate, and its reaction with sulfoxide proceeds through a synchronous nucleophilic addition of sulfoxide to nitrogen center and ligand-to-metal single electron transfer process to form the N-S bond. In addition, the stereoselectivity is primarily dictated by the difference in dispersion interactions of the transition states.
