A New, One-Pot (E) -Stereoselective Synthesis of Racemic and Chiral α,β-Unsaturated Sulfoxides from Sulfinates and Lithium Dimethyldiphenylphosphonium Diylide

Abstract
α,β-Unsaturated sulfoxides 6 with (E)-geometry, both racemic or optically active, were effectively synthesized by the one-pot reaction of lithium dimethyldiphenylphosphonium diylide [1; lithiomethyl(methylene)diphenylphosphorane] with sulfinates 2 followed by treatment of the α-sulfinylmethylmethyldiphenylphosphonium ylide formed [4; methyldiphenyl(sulfinylmethylene)-phosphorane] with aldehydes.
