A new and efficient route to homochiral γ-hydroxysulfoxides and γ-hydroxysulfones

Readily available (+)-(R)-1,3-diphenyl-3-phenylsulfanyl-propan-1-one 1 was oxidized to the corresponding sulfone and its reduction gave separable (1R,3R)- and (1S,3R)-1,3-diphenyl-3-phenylsulfonylpropan-1-ols. When 1 was reduced to the mixture of epimeric
