Chiral alpha-sulfenylated ketones are versatile building blocks, although there are still several limitations with their preparation. Here we report a new two-step procedure, consisting of Pd-catalyzed hydrothiolation of propargylic alcohols followed by an enantioselective Rh isomerization of allylic alcohols. The isomerization reaction is the key step for obtaining the ketones in their enantioenriched form. The new methodology has a high atom economy and induces good to high levels of enantioselectivity; no waste is produced. A mechanism involving a Rh-hydride-enone intermediate is proposed for the isomerization reaction.
