Abstract
1-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)benzimidazole reacts with a variety of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of either NaHMDS (-55 °C to rt) or t-BuOK (rt, 1 h) in DMF to give the corresponding terminal alkenes in high yields. The byproducts of this Julia-type methylenation reagent are easily removed, and the reaction conditions are mild and practical.
