Abstract

Treatment of disulfide 7 with NaIO4 in EtOH at rt gave monosulfoxide 8 (95%), while at 50°C it gave trans-bis-sulfoxide 6a (84%, >99% de). In contrast, treatment of 7 with MCPBA gave bis-sulfone 9 (95%). The anion of 6a reacted with benzaldehyde affording carbinol 10 (76%, >99% de). The absolute configuration of 8, 6a, and 10 was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.
