α‐Bromosulfones have been synthesized diastereoselectively by reaction of β‐hydroxy gem ‐dibromides with aromatic sulfinates. More steric demanding groups in the β‐position led to increased stereoselectivity in these S N 2 reactions. Lithiated α‐bromosulfones react diastereoselectively with alkylating agents, aldehydes, and ketones. No configurational stability of the lithiated α‐bromosulfones was observed except fast equilibration towards a chelate‐stabilized intermediate. Treatment of the α‐bromosulfone with methylcuprate resulted in substitution of the bromine by a methyl group.
