Titanation of the lithioallyl sulfoximines E-2 and 2-2 with ClTi(NEt(2
))(3) gives allyltitanium species which react with aldehydes highly re
gio- and diastereoselectively at the alpha-position to form the syn-al
pha-hydroxalkyl allyl sulfoximines E-3 and Z-3, respectively. With ClT
i(OiPr)(3) as the titanation reagent anti-gamma-hydroxyalkyl vinyl sul
foximines are obtained instead with equally high selectivities. NMR sp
ectroscopic evidence points to the formation of the monoallyltitanium
sulfoximine E-l upon reaction of E-2 withClTi(NEt(2))(3). Copyright (C
