Enantiomerically pure (2S)-1-arenesulfonyl-2-alkanols (1) were prepared by yeast reduction of 1-arenesulfonyl-3-chloro-2-propanones, followed by epoxydation and alkylation.Reaction of dianions of 1 with aldehydes occurred at the pro(R) position of C(1) to give 1,3-diols, which were converted to (3S)-1-alken-3-ols or (2E,4S)-4-hydroxy-2-alkenenitriles in 100percent e.e.

Dianions derived from β-hydroxy sulfones are highly reactive toward a variety of electrophiles including alkyl halides, carbonyl compounds, and sodium iodoacetate.A convenient synthetic method for 4-alkyl- and 5-alkyl-2(5H)-furanones has been developed by using these dianions.A new synthetic approach to trans,3,4-bis(3-hydroxybenzyl)dihydro-2(3H)-furanone, the first lignan found in humans, via a facile reduction of 2(5H)-furanone with Mg-methanol is also described.
