Abstract

Ilifluoroniethyl phenyl sulfone reacts with sodium methoxide ill methanol at a rate much faster than would be expected for the Ss2 mechanism. The suggestion that the reaction involves an a-elimination to give difluoromethylene is supported by the following evidence: Difluoromethyl phenyl sulfone is relatively inert to sodium thiophenoxide alone, but in the presence of sodium methoxide reacts with it rapidly to give difluoromethyl phenyl sulfide, ...
