Addition reactions of anions of aryl allyl sulfides to benzaldehyde proceed readily and in good yields and afford mixtures of products resulting from α- and γ-attack on the allyl anion. γ-Products predominate, and the ratio of (E):(Z) isomers usually surrounds unity, although in the case of the reaction involving 3-(phenylthio)but-1-ene the ratio is 10:1.The ratio of diastereoisomers formed in products resulting from α-attack ranges from 3:1 to 1.3:1 (starting from 3-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenylthio)prop-1-ene and 2-methyl-3-(phenylthio)prop-1-ene respectively).
