Abstract

Sulfonylation of organometallic reagents was accomplished with arenesulfonyl fluorides to provide a wide variety of alkylaryl-and diary1 sulfones. Organolithium and diorganocopper lithium reagents react smoothly with arenesulfonyl fluorides to give sulfones in high yields. Alkyl Grignard reagents often lead to mixtures of monosulfonylated and disulfonylated products. However, allylmagnesium chloride and phenylmagnesium chloride provide the ...
