Reactions of sulfonyl chlorides with silyl enol ethers catalysed by a ruthenium(II) phosphine complex: convenient synthesis of β-keto sulfones

Abstract

The reactions of alkane- and arene-sulfonyl chlorides with silyl enol ethers in the presence of a ruthenium(II) phosphine complex are found to give β-keto sulfones in good to high yields.
