Reaction of sulfone I with prop-2-yn-1-ylmagne-
sium bromide. Copper(I) iodide, 0.18 g (0.95 mmol),
was added under argon to 0.56 ml (1.43 mmol) of
a 2.58 M solution of prop-2-yn-1-ylmagnesium bro-
mide in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, cooled to 0°C, and
the mixture was stirred for 20 min. The mixture was
cooled to –50°C, a solution of 0.3 g (0.95 mmol) of
sulfone I in 4 ml of anhydrous THF was added drop-
wise over a period of 10 min, and the mixture was
stirred for 1 h at 0°C and for 12 h at room temperature.
It was then cooled to 0°C, treated with 2 ml of a satu-
rated solution of ammonium chloride, and extracted
with ethyl acetate (3×15 ml). The extracts were com-
bined, washed with a saturated solution of sodium
chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concen-
trated under reduced pressure. The residue was sub-
jected to chromatography on silica gel using petroleum
ether–ethyl acetate (8:2) as eluent to isolate 0.09 g
(30%) of initial sulfone I, 0.04 g (25%) of chloro
ketone IX, 0.04 g (18%) of keto sulfone X, and 0.03 g
(10%) of alcohol XI.
Reaction of sulfone I with diethyl malonate.
Potassium hydroxide, 0.20 g (3.52 mmol), and diethyl
malonate, 0.51 g (3.18 mmol), were added at room
temperature to a solution of 0.20 g (0.64 mmol) of
sulfone I in 8 ml of THF. The mixture was stirred for
20 min, diluted with 25 ml of ethyl acetate and 5 ml of
10% hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl ace-
tate (2×15 ml). The extracts were combined, washed
with 10% hydrochloric acid to pH 7 and a saturated
solution of sodium chloride, and dried over MgSO4,
the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure,
and the residue was subjected to column chromatog-
raphy on silica gel using petroleum ether–ethyl acetate
(8:2) as eluent to isolate 0.08 g (57%) of enone VII
and 0.05 g (36%) of sulfone VIII.
