Abstract
Bromomethyl (E)-2-phenylethenyl and bromomethyl (Z)-1-bromo-2-phenylethenyl sulfones undergo condensation with enolates generated from malononitrile, dimethyl malonate, methyl and ethyl acetoacetate using NaH in THF to give tetrahydrothiophene S,S-dioxides. Methyl (E)-1-bromo-2-phenylethenyl and methyl (E)-2-bromo-2-phenylethenyl sulfones react with sodium malononitrile to give 2-[2-(methylsulfonyl)-1-phenylethylidene]malononitrile. The bromomethyl-(E)-2-bromo-2-phenyl ethenyl sulfone reacts with sodium malononitrile to give 2-[2-(bromomethylsulfonyl)-1-phenylethylidene]malononitrile exclusively.
