45 - 036Enantioselective Generation of Benzylic Stereocenters Mediated bya Remote Sulfoxide. — The reaction of optically active o-sulfinyltoluenederivatives (I) with LDA generates benzyllithium carbanions, which on reactionwith various electrophiles afford the corresponding adducts with highly diastere-oselective 1,4-induction. Thus, the stereogenic benzylic center is generated withabsolute diastereoselectivity, and only for the additional stereocenter, which isgenerated with asymmetrically substituted carbonyl compounds, epimeric mix-tures are obtained [cf. (VII)/(VIII) and (X)/(XI)]. Removal of the auxiliary issmoothly achieved on reaction with Raney nickel (no reaction conditions given).— (GARCIA RUANO, JOSE L.; CARRENO, M.
