The Pummerer rearrangement products, obtained from (RC,RS)-β-hydroxy sulfoxide derivatives, react with silyl enol ethers or a ketene silyl acetal in the presence of ZnBr2 to give the γ-hydroxy-β-tolylthio carbonyl derivatives, which, in turn, are converted to optically pure (E)-γ-hydroxy-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and 5-substituted 2(5H)-furanones, respectively.
