Facial stereocontrol is possible in Michael additions of nucleophiles (Nu) to alkylidene bis(sulfoxides), which proceed via nonchelated ( A ) or chelated ( B ) intermediates depending on the addition of an appropriate Lewis acid (LA). This intriguing reactivity could be applied to the first total synthesis of the succinate‐based natural product, (+)‐ erythro ‐roccellic acid.
