Abstract

Reaction of enolizable aldehydes with p-tolylsulfinylmethyl phenyl sulfone (1) in the presence of piperidine in acetonitrile gave selectively E-γ-hydroxy-αβ-unsaturated phenyl sulfones (2) in good yields. Reaction from enantiomerically pure sulfoxide 1 gave unsaturated sulfones 2 in moderate optical yields (ee= 10-50%).
