Abstract
A mixture of phenylselenomagnesium bromide, an acetylenic sulfone, and an aldehyde in THF/CH(2)Cl(2) afforded Michael-aldol tandem adduct, i.e., (Z)-beta-phenylseleno-alpha-(p-tolylsulfonyl)allylic alcohol, in good yield with high stereoselectivity. The stereoselectivity greatly depended on solvent. [reaction: see text]
