Silver-catalyzed cascade reaction of tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) with propargylic alcohols to (E)-vinyl sulfones: dual roles of TosMIC

摘要

An unprecedented silver-catalyzed cascade reaction of tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) with propargylic alcohols for the efficient synthesis of (E)-vinyl sulfones has been developed where TosMIC plays a dual role as both the reactant in the allenylation of propargylic alcohols and the sulfonyl source.
