Abstract
Ethyl (benzothiazol-2-ylsulfonyl)acetate engaged in the modified Julia olefination with aldehydes under mild reaction conditions to yield α,β-unsaturated esters. Aryl aldehydes and aliphatic aldehydes possessing significant chain branching elements gave trans alkene products with high stereoselectivity, while straight chain aliphatic aldehydes gave cis products preferentially.
