The reduction of some enantiomerically pure perfluoroalkyl α-(p-tolylsulfinyl) ketones was performed.Alcohols containing perfluoroalkyl and p-tolylsulfinyl groups were obtained with high diastereoselection when a phenyl residue was present on the sulfinylated carbon and with lower diastereoselection in the other cases.Removal of the chiral sulfinyl group from single diastereoisomers gave secondary alcohols containing a perfluoroalkyl group in enantiomerically pure form.
