Abstract

Treatment of lithio derivative of novel PEG-supported (-phenylselenopropionate with aldehydes, followed by oxidation-elimination with 30% hydrogen peroxide, formed Baylis-Hillman products, which were then reacted with sodium arylsulfinate. The resulting sulfonylated products were cleaved from the PEG efficiently affording methyl (2Z)-2-arylsulfonylmethyl-2-alkenoates in good yields and high purities.
