Yield, enantioselectivity, and diastereoselectivity of stilbene oxide from benzaldehyde and benzaldehyde tosylhydrazone salt by using sulfides 1, 5, and 6

Entry	Sulfide	Yield, %*	Trans/cis†	ee %‡
1	1	87	>98:2	94 (R, R)
2	6	80	>98:2	86 (R, R)
3	5	83	>98:2	78 (R, R)

^*Yield of isolated product.

^†Determined by ¹H NMR spectroscopy of crude reaction mixture.

^‡Determined by chiral HPLC with a Chiralcel OD column.
