Reaction of Benzyl Sulphoxides with Lithium and n-Butyllithium: A New Synthesis of Stilbenes

The reaction of benzyl sulphoxides with lithium has been shown to proceed via the steps: (i) α-lithiation; (ii) dimerisation; (iii) deoxygenation; and (iv) decomposition yielding stilbenes and thiosulphinates.The reaction with n-BuLi proceeds intramolecularly leading to stilbenes exclusively.The latter reaction provides an efficient method for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical stilbenes.

Deoxygenation and Desulphuration Reactions of Lithium: Part V - Reaction of Sulphoxides with Lithium

Dialkyl and aralkyl sulphoxides are reduced to the corresponding sulphides in good yields by lithium in dimethoxyethane; however, the reaction of benzyl sulphoxides with lithium is more complex.
