Abstract

The reactions of aryl-stabilized sulfonium ylides with trialkyl/triarylboranes have been investigated. Clean monohomologation of the boranes with only a small amount of the higher homologation products (< 10%) was observed. The homologation products were isolated as the alcohols (treatment with H2O2/NaOH) and amines (treatment with NH2OSO3H). Although the reactions were conveniently conducted at 5° C, the ylide ...
