Lithiathion of appropriate methylaryl alkyl sulfones is followed by migration of the alkyl group from sulfur to the benzylic carbon.Product studies, relative reactivities, and crossover experiments are consistent with a radical-radical anion chain process for this rearrangement.
Mild Generation of Alkylidenecarbenes from (Tosylazo)alkenes and Silylvinyl Triflates. Mode of Decomposition and Nature of the Carbene Intermediates

(Tosylazo)alkenes, R2C=CHN=NTs, decomposed in olefin-solvent mixtures both under neutral conditions at room temperature and with amine bases present to produce alkylidenecyclopropanes in moderate to good yields.Diazoalkenes, R2C=C=N2, were implicated as t
