6. The pKa of the hydrogen on the carbon bearing the sulfoxide group is four orders of magnitude higher than the pKa of the equivalent hydrogen on the carbon bearing the sulfone substituent.

9. Sulfoxides 1a and 7 were selected because the corresponding sulfones react very poorly (or not at all) under the standard Julia–Lythgoe conditions for electronic (1a) or steric (7) reasons.
10. The excess of benzoyl chloride was reacted with 3-(dimethylamino)propan-1-ol (neat) and the amine was removed upon aqueous acid work-up.
11. All the reactions presented in Table I were carried out on the mixture of adduct 4.

17. More polar and less polar refer to more and les polar (R,R) or (S,R) diastereoisomers based upon their migration on TLC.
18. In this context, it is interesting to note that the reductive cleavage of a benzoate group could be easily effected using SmI2 or electrochemical conditions, suggesting to a great acceptor ability of the benzoyl function.
