The enantioselective reactions of lithiated benzyl trifluoromethyl sulfones with a substoichiometric amount of a bis(oxazoline) and various aldehydes is disclosed. The products were formed with excellent diastereo‐ and enantioselectivities. Fluorination of the sulfone with N ‐fluorobenzenesulfonimide and a stoichiometric amount of a bis(oxazoline) gave products with extremely high enantioselectivities (up to 99 %  ee ; ee =enantiomeric excess). The enantioselective reaction was confirmed to proceed through a dynamic thermodynamic resolution pathway.
