title: A stereospecific synthesis of chiral cyclic sulfinamides.
abstract: Treatment of racemic or enantiomerically pure 2,1-benzothiazines (cyclic sulfoximines) with lithium triethylborohydride results in clean loss of the S-aryl group with complete retention of configuration at sulfur to produce diastereomerically and/or enantiomerically pure cyclic sulfinamides in excellent yield.
