Very high diastereofacial selectivity in the nucleophilic epoxidation of N-(p-tolylsulphonyl)vinylsulphoximines

Abstract
Nucleophilic epoxidation of N-(p-tolylsulphonyl)vinylsulphoximines (6) using lithium t-butyl hydroperoxide proceeds with very high diastereofacial selectivity, the sense of which was established by a single crystal X-ray structure determination, to give N-(p-tolylsulphonyl)phenylsulphoximino-oxiranes (5) in good yield.
