Base-Induced Reactions of 3-Phenylsulfonylpropyl- and 3-Cyanopropyl­trimethylammonium Chlorides with Aldehydes: New Synthesis of Substituted Butadienes

Abstract

3-Phenylsulfonylpropyltrimethylammonium chloride and 3-cyanopropyltrimethylammonium chloride react with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of excess of potassium tert-butoxide and methyl iodide to give 1,2-disubstituted 1,3-butadienes.

aldehydes - butadienes - carbanions - Hofmann elimination - quaternary ammonium
