REGIO- AND STEREOCONTROLLED SYNTHESIS OF ALLYLIC p-TOLYL SULFONES CATALYZED BY PALLADIUM (0) COMPLEX
The reaction of allyl esters with sodium p-tolylsulfinate in tetrahydrofuran and methanol catalyzed by Pd(PPh3)4 gave the regio- and stereocontrolled allylic p-tolyl sulfones in good yields at room or lower temperature.
