Abstract

P-(Phenylse1eno) vinyl sulfones 2 are readily obtained from the free-radical selenosulfonation of acetylenes. Compounds 2 isomerize to allyl sulfones 4 under base- catalyzed conditions in nearly quantitative yield, with high stereoselectivity favoring the 2 configuration. Allyl sulfones 4 afford generally high yields of allenic sulfones 1 when subjected to oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid or tert-butyl hydroperoxide, followed ...
