Abstract

Optically active sulfoxides have been known since a long time, but a general route to these compounds of high or complete enantiomeric purity was developed only in the early sixties via the Andersen synthesis 1-3, starting from easily available, diastereomerically pure sulfinate esters. Only in the last decade sulfoxides have been extensively used as chiral synthons in a variety of processes ... The peculiar features of the sulfinyl group, - ... By far the most general route to optically ...
