The study presented herein shows that sulfonate/halide exchange can be advantageously performed in THF to avoid several side reactions such as elimination and epimerization when the reaction is performed from a chiral alkyl sulfonate or a substrate having a C-H acidic chiral center. The main limitation of this procedure was found to be the conversion of secondary alkyl sulfonates to alkyl chlorides. In this case, the addition of a catalytic amount of manganese chloride clearly accelerates the rate and the efficiency of the reaction. Copyright
