Jp. Marino et al., SULFOXIDE-CONTROLLED S(N)2' DISPLACEMENTS BETWEEN CYANOCUPRATES AND EPOXY VINYL SULFOXIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 37(44), 1996, pp. 8031-8034
Readily available enantiomerically pure epoxy vinyl sulfoxides 10-13 a
nd 15 undergo highly regio-and stereoselective S(N)2' displacements wi
th alkyl cyanocuprates. The sulfinyl auxiliary controls the anti-syn s
tereochemistry of the process. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
