aminoalkoxides, leading to new superbases, induced an efficient one-pot dialkylation of allylphenylsulfide. The regioselectivity of the reaction (α,α′ vs α,γ) was found as strongly dependent on the nature of the alkyl halide. As an application, α,γ dialkylated products were efficiently converted into the corresponding unsymmetrical ketones.
The title reaction in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) affords alkylative coupling products in good to excellent yields in 1,2-dichloroethane at room temperature. This coupling reaction under C(sp2)–O cleavage proceeds stereospecifically. The reaction does not affect a coexisting vinyl sulfide group. This feature enables 1,2- and 1,3-carbonyl transposition
