Abstract Axially chiral thioethers and sulfoxides emerge as two pivotal classes of ligands organocatalysts, which have remarkable features in the stereoinduction various asymmetric transformations. However, lack easy methods to access such molecules with diverse structures has hampered their broader utilization. Herein, an oxidative kinetic resolution for sulfides using a bifunctional squaramide catalyst cumene hydroperoxide terminal oxidant is established. This approach provides variety axially well bearing both axial central chirality, excellent diastereo‐ enantioselectivities. catalytic system also successfully extends benzothiophene‐based sulfides. Preliminary mechanism investigation indicates that multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between substrates play crucial role determining enantioselectivity reactivity.
