Popis: The crystal structures of the lithiated allylic sulfoximine 1a (12-c-4) 2 , which is a solvent separated contact ion pair, and of the allylic sulfoximine 3b were determined. The anion of 1a (12-c-4) 2 adopts a conformation in which the lone pair orbital at the C α -atom is gauche to the O- and the N-atom. The C α -S bond is considerably shortened. Similar to α-sulfonyl carbanions the conformation of α-sulfonimidoyl carbanions seems to be determined by negative hyperconjugation. Ab initio calculations (6–31+G*) of various conformers of the anion 4 ( a–c ) suggest a low configurational stability of the C α -atom of 1 .
