Summary: Base-catalyzed geminal alkylation of allyl sulfones combined with the ability of molybdenum to direct nucleophilic substitution of the sulfone converts allyl sulfones into 1,l- and 1,3-dipole synthons. ... The ability of a sulfone group to stabilize an a-car- banion which can then react with electrophilic reagents has long been utilized in organic synthesis.' However, the use of sulfones as electrophilic partners to replace the CS bond with a CC bond in a direct intermolecular ...
