The reaction of α-lithio aryl methyl sulfoxides with a limited amount of chiral carboxylates (R2–CO–O–R*) was found to be an enantiomer-differentiating reaction, affording the corresponding optically active β-keto sulfoxides (3), together with optically active aryl methyl sulfoxides which have the opposite configuration. The optical purity and the predominant configuration of 3 obtained were assigned
Treatment of (−)-menthyl carboxylates(2) with 2 equiv of p-tolylsulfinylcarbanion(1) afforded the corresponding opticallyactive β-keto sulfoxides(3) together with opticallyactivemethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide. The enantiomeric purity and the predominant configuration of the products were discussed.

The nitrile functional group is efficiently transformed into the β-ketosulfoxide moiety by reaction with the anion formed from (+)-(R)-methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide and aqueous acidic work-up of the reaction.
