Abstract

A new nucleophilic isopropyl transfer reagent, triisopropylsulfoxonium tetrafluoroborate, has been prepared and evaluated. Thus, using this reagent and NaH in DMF, a range of electron deficient alkenes, including several chalcone analogues, alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones, dienones and quinones, plus alpha,beta-unsaturated esters, nitrile, sulfone and nitro examples, have been converted into the corresponding gem-dimethylcyclopropane compounds.
