Abstract

Reaction of β-hydroxy or acetoxy sulfones with Sml2 in the presence of HMPA caused effectively reductive elimination to provide olefins. Treatment of enol phosphates, readily synthesized from β-hydroxy sulfones via keto sulfones, under the same conditions efficiently produced mono-and disubstituted acetylenes.
