Abstract
Abstract (E)- and (Z)-1-benzenesulfonyl-4-trimethylsilyl-2-butenes (E/Z=9), prepared from 4-trimethylsilyl-1-buten-3-ol, n -butyllithium and benzenesulfenyl chloride and oxidation of the intermediate (E)- and (Z)-1-benzenesulfinyl-4-trimethylsilyl-2-butenes with hydrogen peroxide, react with n -butyllithium and then primary halides to give 4-benzenesulfonyl-1-trimethylsilyl-2-alkenes which are rapidly 1,4-debenzenesulfonyltrimethylsilated to (E)-1,3-alkadienes by tetra- n -butylammonium fluoride at O°C.
