O-Silylated ketene acetals are effective reagents for the asymmetric Pummerer-type rearrangement and the asymmetric intramolecular Pummerer-type cyclization of chiral, non-racemic sulfoxides. The reactions proceed smoothly in the presence or absence of a catalytic amount of zinc iodide or zinc chloride in acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran or dichloromethane. These Pummerer-type reactions show the highest optical induction of all previously examined methods. Moreover, the reaction can be applied to an asymmetric synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics.
