Effect of EtOH on the E-Iodohydroxylation of 1,2-allenylic sulfoxides with 12†
Dedicated to Professor Chengye Yuan on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
Abstract
The E-iodohydroxylation of 1, 2-allenylic sulfoxides with I2 in the presence of EtOH afforded 3-phenylsulfinyl-2–10do-2(E)-alkenols in good yields and regio/stereo-selectivities under very mild conditions.
