Abstract
Sulfones and sulfoxides synthesised from methionine and homocysteine thiolactone have been cyclised to amino ketones using potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide. Ramberg-Backlund chemistry on one of the sulfones gave an amino cyclopentenone whereas acyclic α-amino ketones and anti-amino alcohols were obtained by Raney nickel desulfurisation of the sulfoxides.
