Reactions of (E)-2-Iodo-1-tosyl-1-alkenes as Useful Synthetic Intermediates

Abstract (E)-2-Iodo-1-tosyl-1-alkenes readily available by iodosulfonization of 1-alkynes were found to be useful synthons for the regio- and/or stereoselective preparation of 1-tosyl-1-alkynes, 1-tosyl-2-alkynes, (Z)-vinyl and (Z)-allyl sulfones, β-tosyl enamines, α-tosyl ketones, α-tosyl aldehyde acetal, and β-disubstituted vinyl sulfones.
