A NEW AND CONVENIENT PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF OPTICALLY PURE ARYL 2-PYRIDYL SULFOXIDES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(91)80657-R

α-Lithiation of aryl 2-pyridyl sulfoxides, treatment with l-menthyl sulfinate, and desulfinylation with Grignard reagents gave optically pure aryl 2-pyridyl sulfoxides in moderate yields.
