By reaction with 4-(chlorosulfenyl)morpholine in the presence of triethylamine, several substituted allylic alcohols have been converted into the title sulfinamides.As a complementary method, the new α-lithio allylic sulfinamides have been prepared and efficiently alkylated with organic halides.The boron trifluoride-etherate catalyzed treatment of the allylic sulfinamides with simple saturated alcohols provided the corresponding alkyl sulfinates while propargylic and allylic alcohols opened a route to various α,α'-bis-unsaturated sulfones.Efficient conditions for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of allylic sulfinamides are described and some allylic sulfinic acids bearing an electron-withdrawing group were isolated.Smooth fragmentation of the homoconjugated sulfinic acids gave the corresponding (E)-olefins stereoselectively. - Key words: sigmatropic rearrangement / allylic sulfinamide / allylic sulfinic ester / organolithium derivative / sulfone / retro-ene reaction / sulfur dioxide elimination / stereochemistry
