Getting the most out of sulfur . Enantiopure epoxyvinyl sulfone 1 is transformed to syn‐ and anti ‐dienyl sulfones 2 and 3 , respectively, by means of a nucleophilic methylation/sulfenylation/directed elimination reaction sequence. Compound 2 has been converted into termini‐differentiated seven‐carbon polypropionate segments found in five biologically significant natural products.
