Vinyl sulfones, sulfides and sulfoxides are very useful compounds in organic synthesis and have recently been the object of several studies.1 More complex molecules, like arylsulfonyl-1,3-dienes , have attracted considerable interest due to their usage as synthons in a variety of reactions,2 for example cycloadditions with normal and inverse electron demand.3 In the same way, conjugated unsaturated alcohols are an interesting class of compounds not only ...
