The structure of lithioalkylsulfoximides of type 1, which are important in asymmetric synthesis , is full of surprises. In the crystal, the title compound ( 1a ) 4 . 2(tmeda) contains two peripheral Li atoms with the expected coordination and two central Li atoms with three C and three N contacts. A barrier for rotation around the CS bond has been measured for the second comound, 1b . The carbanions of 1 are not configurationally stable at the anionic C atoms.
