The stereoselective introduction of an allylic alcohol function into chiral aldehydes is readily achieved by sequential condensation of aldehydes with an allylic sulphinyl anion and thiophile-promoted desulphurization of the resulting α-substituted allylic sulphoxides.

Addition reactions of anions of aryl allyl sulfoxides to benzaldehyde proceed readily in moderate yields and afford mixtures of products resulting from α- and γ-attack on the allyl anion.The γ-products all possess the (E)-configuration around the double bond, and asymmetric induction occurs in the addition to the extent that the major/minor diastereomer ratio exceeds 2:1, generally.Electronic factors are believed to be responsible for this "remote" asymmetric induction.Mixtures of all four possible diastereomers are observed in the products from α-attack and evidence is presented which suggests that the ratios of these products are as a result of epimerization of two of the chiral centres by sigmatropic rearrangement.
