A one-pot regioselective synthetic route to vinyl sulfones from terminal epoxides in aqueous media

A highly efficient LiBr catalysed regioselective synthesis of vinyl sulfones from readily available terminal epoxides and sodium sulfinates in a one-pot procedure using water as a reaction medium is reported. The protocol is adorned with several attributes of green chemistry like recycling of the ca...

Description
Summary:A highly efficient LiBr catalysed regioselective synthesis of vinyl sulfones from readily available terminal epoxides and sodium sulfinates in a one-pot procedure using water as a reaction medium is reported. The protocol is adorned with several attributes of green chemistry like recycling of the catalyst, atom-economy and an aqueous medium. The first LiBr catalysed highly efficient regioselective synthesis of vinyl sulfones from readily available terminal epoxides and sodium sulfinates in a one-pot procedure using water as a reaction medium is reported.
