The starting material 3a remained when less than 6 molar amounts of NaClO₂ were used.

In the absence of NaH₂PO₄, no reaction occurred.

The sulfenic acid part in II is a transient structure because of its high reactivity. See ref. [14]

The ratio was based on ¹H NMR analysis of the crude product. Methyl ester 5 was obtained in only a trace amount.

Representative Experimental Procedure (Table 2, Entry 2):
To a mixture of 3a (57.0 mg, 0.163 mmol) in MeOH (1.2 mL) and H₂O (0.400 mL) were added at r.t. 2-methyl-2-butene (0.172 mL, 1.630 mmol) and NaH₂PO₄ (39.0 mg, 0.326 mmol). After cooling to 0 °C, 86% NaClO₂ (103.0 mg, 0.978 mmol) was added and the resulting suspension was stirred at r.t. for 2 h. Then H₂O (1.5 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (1.5 ml × 3); the extracts were washed with sat. aq NaCl, dried with Na₂SO₄, and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel with 3:1 hexane-EtOAc to afford 4a (38.7 mg, 92%) as a colorless oil. Compound 4a: ¹H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl₃, CHCl₃ = 7.26): δ = 0.04 (6 H, s), 0.87 (9 H, s), 0.88 (3 H, t, J = 7.0 Hz), 1.18-1.40 (4 H, m), 1.57 (2 H, quint, J = 7.5 Hz), 2.44 (2 H, t, J = 7.5 Hz), 2.59 (2 H, t, J = 7.0 Hz), 3.88 (2 H, t, J = 7.0 Hz). ¹³C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl₃ = 77.16): δ = -5.35, 14.04, 18.34, 22.59, 23.34, 25.98, 31.52, 43.99, 45.70, 59.07, 210.42.
