SOME CARBANIONIC REACTIONS OF α-CHLOROALLYL SULFONES

Abstract The chlorination of 3-methyl-2-butenyl phenyl sulfone with either hexachloroethane or 1,1-dichloro-3-methyl-2-butenyl phenyl sulfone in basic medium gives rise to 1-chloro-3-methyl-2-butenyl phenyl sulfone which in turn reacts in situ with electrophilic compounds to give a variety of products in good yields.
