Cyanomethylenetrimethylphosphorane (CMMP), a new Mitsunobu reagent developed recently by the authors, mediated the alkylation of arylmethyl phenyl sulfones with primary and secondary alcohols quite efficiently. Utilizing 3-((phenylsulfonyl)methyl)pyridine, theonelladine D, a unique pyridine alkaloid, was synthesized in excellent yield. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
