Abstract
The enantio- or diastereoselective oxidation of readily available (methylth io)methylphosphonates produces optically active (methylsulfinyl)methylphosp honates which can be used as direct precursors of chiral nonracemic methyl sulfoxides in a substitution reaction involving a carbanionic leaving group .
