Abstract

(E)- and (Z)-1-benzenesulfonyl-4-trimethylsilyl-2-butenes (E/Z=9), prepared from 4-trimethylsilyl-1-buten-3-ol, -butyllithium and benzenesulfenyl chloride and oxidation of the intermediate (E)- and (Z)-1-benzenesulfinyl-4-trimethylsilyl-2-butenes with hydrogen peroxide, react with -butyllithium and then primary halides to give 4-benzenesulfonyl-1-trimethylsilyl -2-alkenes which are rapidly 1,4-debenzenesulfonyltrimethylsilated to (E)-1,3-alkadienes ...
