Abstract

Abstract Optically active bromovinyl aryl sulfoxides were subjected to reactions with phenyl- or alkyl-magnesium compounds, with the production of optically active diaryl or aryl alkyl sulfoxides, with inversion of configuration. The enantiospecificity of the process was found to be 98–100%.
