ChemInform Abstract: Mechanistic Aspects and Profiles of the Double Elimination Reaction of β‐Substituted Sulfones.

Abstract

The β‐substituted sulfones (I), (V), and (X) react with tert‐butylate (II) to form the corresponding vinyl sulfones (III), (VI), and (XI).

Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of β-Hydroxysulfides of 1,3-Dioxepane Series

“…β-Hydroxysulfides are attractive tools in organic synthesis, which are actively used in the synthesis of allylic alcohols, cyclic sulfides, thioketones, and physiologically active compounds [1][2][3][4][5]. Products of their oxidation, β-hydroxysulfones, are useful reagents for preparation of lactones [6], 2,5disubstituted tetrahydrofuranes [7], and vinyl sulfones [8]. Compounds containing phenylsulfonyl fragment are also widely used in organic synthesis [9].…”
