Diastereotopic group selective intramolecular cycloadditions of sulfenic acids to 1,4-dienes.
The ratio of diastereomeric cis-fused perhydrobenzothiophene S-oxides formed via the intramolecular addition of a sulfenic acid to a 1,4-diene is controlled by the nature of the protecting group on a chiral alcohol in the connecting chain.
