1,4 Addition of the lithium anion of allyl phenyl sulfide to 3,3-dimethylacrylonitrile and to methyl 3,3-dimethyl acrylate occurred at the alpha position of the carbanion. The resulting adducts 5 and 6 were converted to the allylic alcohols 1 and 9 by [2,3] sigmatropic shift of the sulfoxides, obtained by oxidation. Besides sulfoxide 7, sulfenate 13 arising from [2,3] sigmatropic shift and sulfinate 10 were detected. Alcohol 1 was epoxidized according to the Katsuki-Sharpless procedure to the (4S,5R) epoxy alcohol 17 with an ee > 94%. Its silyl ether 19 was converted to a mixture of cis and trans cyclopropylnitriles by the Stork cyclization. After removal of the silyl group and periodate cleavage, trans and cis aldehydes 24 and 25 were separated. The trans aldehyde 24 was converted to (1R,3R)-trans-chrysanthemic nitrile 26 (ee 92%).
