Stereoselective Synthesis of Racemic and Optically Active <i>E</i>-Vinyl and <i>E</i>-Dienyl Sulfoxides via Wittig Reaction of α-Sulfinyl Phosphonium Ylides
A series of ol-sulfinyl phosphonium ylides have been obtained in the reaction of phosphonium mono- and diylides with sulfinic acid esters. The use of(-)-(S)-menthyl-p-toluenesulfinate in this reaction afforded the corresponding (S)-((p-tolylsulfinyl)methyl)triphenylphosphonium ylide. The Wittig reaction of these ylides with saturated and unsaturated aldehydes resulted in the formation of racemic and optically active (+)-(R)-vinyl and dienyl sulfoxides with the E-geometry. The synthesis of (+)-(R)-((p-tolylsulfinyl)methyl)triphenyl iodide as a precursor of the optically active ylide has also been described.
