Abstract

A high stereoselectivity in the methylation of 2-pyridylmethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide (2a) with lithium diisopropylamide and iodomethane was observed at low temperature. The chelation of Li+ by both the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring and the sulfinyl oxygen atom in 2a promotes the stereoselectivity as compared with isomeric sulfoxides.
