ChemInform Abstract
The title compound (VI) is prepared from (I) via the (S)-configurated sulfoxide (II) obtained with high e.e. (73%) or in enantiomerically pure form by varying methods. The intermediate (V) is transformed by thermolysis (retention) and hydrolysis (inversion) into (R)- and (S)-( II), respectively (some yields given in mg).
