Abstract
Bromohydrins have been prepared from β-methyl-γ,δ-unsaturated sulfoxides with high regio- and stereoselectivity. The reaction proceeds via neighboring group participation of the sulfinyl moiety with inversion of sulfoxide configuration as proven by an 18O labeling study and x-ray crystallography.
