The highly diastereoselective conjugate addition of alcohols and amines (RXH) to enantiopure 2-sulfinyl dienes renders transient allylic sulfoxides which undergo sulfoxide-sulfenate rearrangement and sulfenate cleavage providing 2-ene-1,4-diols and 2-ene-1,4-aminoalcohols with up to 99:1 dr. The method allows for the generation of two stereocenters in a single synthetic operation with remote chirality transfer of one center into the other.
