Convenient Methods for the Preparation of Vinylic and Allylic Sulfones from Alkenes, Haloalkanes, and Aldehydes. Stereochemistry of the Conversion of Vinylic Sulfones to the Corresponding Allylic Sulfones
1- or 2-p-Tolylsulfonyl(=tosyl)-1-alkenes, vinylic sulfones, were regioselectively prepared from 1-alkenes via iodosulfonization or sulfonylmercuration and also from 1-haloalkanes by the homologati...
