(E)-3-Chloro-1-phenylsulfonylprop-1-ene and its iodo- and bromo- analogues, (Z)-1-iodo-3-phenylsulfonylprop-1-ene and (Z)-1-bromo-3-phenylsulfonylprop-1-ene, have each been successfully converted into lithiated carbanions which react regioselectively with aromatic aldehydes to give γ-alkylated products whose nature depends upon the halogen substituent; the chloro-sulfones yield (2Z)-1-aryl-1-chloro-4-phenylsulfonylbut-2-en-1-ols but the bromo- and iodo-derivatives behave differently, yielding (1E)-trans-4-aryl-3,4-epoxy-1-phenylsulfonylbut-1-enes. In sharp contrast, the same lithiated sulfones react with aliphatic aldehydes to give anti-configured β-hydroxysulfones which are formed via diastereoselective α-alkylation reactions.
