A chiral α-cyanovinyl sulfoxide served as an efficient chiral enophile in a Lewis acid-catalyzed intramolecular ene reaction.Use of diethylaluminum chloride as a catalyst provided extremely high stereoselectivity in this ene reaction.Based on the stereochemical results obtained, a mechanistic pathway for this asymmetric induction is presented.
