A facile method for the preparation of the title compounds is described. Homochiral N-protected β-amino alcohols are smoothly converted into the corresponding sulfides 1. The two-phase oxidation of sulfides (R)-1 with sodium hypochlorite mediated by TEMPO and co-catalyzed by KBr leads exclusively to the corresponding sulfoxides, (R,S S )-2 (minor) and (R,R S )-3 (major, up to 88 % d.e.). Both products are easily separated and purified by chromatography or recrystallization.
