Abstract:
Not only for ligand exchange at sulfoxides can the sulfoxide/magnesium exchange reaction be used, but it also provides a possibility to generate Grignard reagents in way that avoids metallic magnesium and thus radical processes. Therefore, enantiomerically pure Grignard reagents can be obtained from the corresponding sulfoxides [Eq. (a)].
