Abstract
A new variant of the Ramberg-Backlund reaction is described, the epoxy-Ramberg-Backlund reaction (ERBR), in which alpha,beta-epoxysulfones, on treatment with base, are convened into a range of mono-, di- and tri-substituted allylic alcohols. The scope and limitations of the ERBR are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
