Abstract

Allyl phenyl sulphone and cinnamyl p-tolyl sulphone underwent cycloaddition with tetraphenylcyclopentadienone, indanocyclone, 1, 3-diphenylisobenzofuran, and tetraphenylcyclopentadiene to give the adducts with elimination of methyl phenyl sulphone and methyl p-tolyl sulphone respectively.
