A New Synthesis of 2-Sulfanyl Allylic Alcohols and .ALPHA.-Sulfanyl Ketones from Carbonyl Compounds and 1-Chloroalkyl p-Tolyl Sulfoxides with Carbon-Carbon Bond-Formation
adducts derived fromaldehydes with TFAA and NaI resulted in the formation of alpha-sulfanyl ketones and/or alpha-sulfanyl allylicalcohols. These reactions offer a good method for the synthesis of the above-mentioned compounds fromketones and aldehydes with carbon-carbon bond-formation in two steps and in good yields.
