A significant effect of the LHMDS amount and the N-sulfinylimine nature on the stereoselectivity of the process was observed. Conditions were found where sulfinylimines of differently substituted salicylaldehydes derivatives, ethyl acetate, and LHMDS afforded the corresponding addition products as a single diastereomer in good yields. The developed protocol was successfully applied to the first stereoselective synthesis of differently substituted 4-amino-3,4-dihydrocoumarin derivatives. Computational models confirmed the prominent role of the ortho aryl substituent in the stereoselectivity of the process. A significant and selective cytotoxic activity against Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) cancer line has been determined for the noncyclic hydroxy ester derivative.
