    Abstract

    Lithiation of N-aryl S-α-alkylbenzyl thiocarbamates leads to rearrangement with migration of the N-aryl ring to the anionic centre α to S, a process which generally proceeds with ca. 98% retention of stereochemistry and returns chiral benzylic tertiary thiols in high enantiomeric ratios. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
