Sulfoxidation of the (+)-Noe-lactol derivative of racemic 6,11-dihydrodiben
zo[h,e]thiepin-11-ol broke the isosterism and converted an inseparable mixt
ure of two compounds into a separable mixture of four. X-Ray structural det
ermination on one oi these and subsequent manipulation provided resolved 6,
11-dihydrodibenzo[b,e]thiepin-11-ol auld all four sulfoxides in known confi
gurations, and enabled the resolution by synthesis of the two isosteric dia
stereoisomers of the calcium channel blocker UK-74,756. (C) 2001 Elsevier S
