Y asymmetric

Ethyl ethylthiomethyl sulphoxide anion 325 has been found to give better yield of 1,4-adducts compared with its methyl analogue . This anion has been used by Schlessinger and coworkers as a key reagent in the synthesis of 1,4-dicarbonyl precursors of naturally occurring cyclopentenones, e.g. dihydrojasmone 379 (equation 219). Michael addition of the anion of optically active (-l-)-(S)-p-tolyl p-tolylthiomethyl sulphoxide 380 to the properly substituted cyclopentenone constitutes an important step in the asymmetric synthesis of optically active cyclopentenone 381, which is a precursor of 11-deoxy-ent-prostanoids (equation 220). The reaction proceeds with a high and y-asymmetric induction (92%), but with a poor a-stereoselection (52 48).
