Abstract
Ethyl glyoxylate N-tosylhydrazone is an excellent sulfonyl anion surrogate in a DBU-catalyzed conjugate addition reaction with enones and enals for the synthesis of functionalized sulfones. The reaction provides γ-keto- and γ-hydroxy sulfones in a simple and reliable way through a sulfa-Michael reaction that proceeds with good yield and chemoselectivity.
