Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(86)80547-2

The allylic substitution of stable enolates derived from diethyl malonate, ethyl cyanoacetate, ethyl benzylsulfonylacetate, bis(benzenesulfonyl)methane and sodium p-toluenesulfinate by a variety of allylic esters and sulfones has been investigated.Suitable ligands and reaction conditions have been found to ensure high yields, and in some cases considerable control of the regioselectivity of the reaction.
