N-Methyl ortho-carbamoylaryl benzyl sulfoxides can be used as synthetic equivalents for α-hydroxy, α-chloro, and α-acetammido benzyl carbanions by means of a two-step sequence involving highly diastereoselective α-C-alkylation with alkyl halides followed by displacement of the sulfinyl residue (which can be recovered and recycled) by a hydroxyl, a chlorine or an acetamido, respectively, under non-oxidative Pummerer conditions. The scope and limits of the method, including a stereoselective version of the reaction, as well as the mechanism of the process are discussed in detail.

ortho-[(N-Methyl)carbamoyl]phenyl benzyl sulfoxide is used as a synthetic equivalent of α-hydroxy and α-chloro benzyl carbanions by means of a two-step sequence involving (1) highly stereoselective α-C-alkylation with alkyl bromides, and (2) displacement of the sulfinyl group by an OH or a Cl under Pummerer or chloro-Pummerer conditions, respectively. The sulfinyl auxiliary can be effectively regenerated and recycled.
