Regio- and Stereoselective Hydrosulfonylation of Conjugated Dienes via a (?-Allyl)palladium Complex
The combination of a sulfonylpalladation of acyclic dienes 1 (with 2 equiv of NaSO2R and 1 equiv of PdCl2 in acetic acid or acetic acid-H2O at 50-80 deg C under air) and a protiodepalladation of the thus obtained palladium complexes 3 with dimethylglyoxime (in a protic solvent at room temperature) provides di- and trisubstituted (Z)-Δ3-sulfones 12 selectively, irrespective of the stereochemistry of the starting dienes.Similar treatment of 1-vinylcycloalkenes 5 (n (1,3) strain between Pd and the substituent on the allylic position.
