Abstract

2, 4.6-Triisopropylbenzenesulfonylhydrazones of a wide range of ketones serve as a convenient source of vinyllith-ium reagents. Treatment with 2.0-3.0 equiv of alkyllithium reagent at-78" C in TMEDA-hexane followed by warming to 0" C rapidly generates the vinyl anions in most cases. The reagents so formed can be trapped with a variety of electrophiles. This procedure leads to a convenient synthesis of allylic alcohols. di-, tri-, and ...
