โฆ Synopsis
The Pummerer reaction of optically active B-carbonyl substituted alkyl sulfoxides with acetic anhydride in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was found to be of highly stereoselective affording the corresponding a-acetoxysulfides with nearly 70% e.e. Among several examples of stereoselective Pummerer reaction of sulfoxides, 1) a few reported examples of asymmetric induction at cl-carbon during the reaction 2) are quite interesting, however, the extent of asymnetric induction was never more than 30% e.e. The low yield of e.e.
