A powerful conformational preference exhibited by a diaryl sulfone axis lying ortho to a sulfinyl substituent enabled the dynamic resolution of atropisomeric diaryl sulfones under thermodynamic control (see scheme; e.r.=enantiomeric ratio). These compounds are the first resolvable compounds exhibiting atropisomerism at CS bonds. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
