The methylenation reagent 1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl methyl sulfone 2 reacts with various aldehydes and ketones in the presence of t-BuOK (room temperature, 1 h) in dimethylformamide to give the corresponding terminal alkenes generally in high yields. For sensitive substrates, the reaction is better carried out at low temperature using sodium hexamethyldisilazide in 1,2-dimethoxyethane. The byproduct is easily removed from the products, and the reaction conditions are mild and practical. Reagent 2 can be easily prepared from commercially available 2-mercaptobenzimidazole 5 in 95% yield without any expensive reagents.

supporting information, p. 2554 - 2557 (2015/05/27)
A new Julia-type methylenation reagent, 1-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)benzimidazole (1e), reacts with a variety of aldehydes and ketones in the presence of either NaHMDS (-55 °C to rt) or t-BuOK (rt, 1 h) in DMF to give the corresponding terminal alkenes in high yields. The byproducts are easily removed, and the reaction conditions are mild and practical.
