title: Synthesis of optically pure 1,2-diaryl- and 1,2-alkylaryl-1,2-amino sulfides.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The reactions of the lithium (S)-alpha-(methylthio)-2-(p-toluenesulfinyl)benzyl carbanion with (S)-N-p-tolylsulfinyl aldimines evolve in a completely stereoselective manner providing a one-step synthesis of enantiomerically pure anti-1,2-disubstituted 1,2-amino sulfide derivatives.
