A diastereoselective synthesis of 1,4-amino alcohols can be achieved from a
highly diastereoselective reduction of a gamma-keto-vinyl sulfoximine foll
owed by C-methylation and then a highly diastereoselective palladium(0) cat
alysed allylic sulfoximine to allylic sulfinamide rearrangement with 1,4-st
ereochemical control from a remote hydroxyl group. (C) 1999 Published by El
