On the conformational preference of an α-sulphonyl carbanion
Abstract
In the base-catalysed hydrogen-deuterium exchange of a conformationally-fixed sulphone, (IV), the relative rates of the exchange of the diastereotopic protons α to the sulphone group indicate the stability of the resultant carbanions to be qualitatively in agreement with M.O. theory but less sensitive to orientation than was predicted.
