Abstract

Trisubstituted methylalkenes react with methyl sulfite at ∼25°C in the presence of BF3 · Et2O in the ene-type fashion to give the corresponding methallyl sulfinates. Such compounds can also be prepared under considerably milder conditions by the Et2AlCl-catalyzed reaction of thionyl chloride with mono- and dienes followed by methanolysis of intermediate alkyl sulfinyl chlorides. These reactions represent a new method for terminal functionalization of linear isoprenoids.
