Study of the alkylation reactions of sulphol-3-enes
Abstract
Sulphol-3-ene can be deprotonated with sodium hydride in DMF to form the α-anion which reacts with various alkyl halides to give the 2-alkylsulpholenes. This approach provides a regiospecific preparation of disubstituted sulphol-3-enes and sulphol-2-enes.
