Various P-hydroxyl sulfones are prepared by regioselective ring opening of epoxides with sodium salt of sulfinate on water. This is an efficient protocol which avoids hazardous and moisture sensitive catalysts. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The sulfone functional group has a strong capacity to direct the asymmetrictransferhydrogenation (ATH) of ketones in the presence of [(arene)Ru(TsDPEN)H] complexes by adopting a position distal to the η6‐arene ring. This preference provides a means for the prediction of the sense of asymmetric reduction. The sulfone group also facilitates the formation of a range of reduction substrates, and its
