Abstract

The direct condensation of saturated or un-saturated aldehydes with methyl phenylsulphinylacetate can be effected with the products undergoing base catalysed rearrangements those from saturated aldehydes yielding γ-hydroxy-αβ-unsaturated esters, whilst croton-aldehyde gives rise to methyl 6-phenylsulphinylhexa-2, 4-dienoate.
