Popis: The readily available S-(tert-butyl)-N-(trimethylsilyl)-S-phenylsulfoximine was prepared from S-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)-S-phenylsulfoximine via lithiation-methylation sequences. The reaction with n-butyllithium in THF at −78°C afforded the corresponding ortho-lithiated species which could be trapped with different electrophiles in good yields. Addition of benzaldehyde proceeded with a modest diastereoselectivity (de=52%).
