Abstract

Abstract Image

The scope of the methylenation of aldehydes and ketones under optimized Julia−Kocienski conditions is broadened by using 1-tert-butyl-1H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl sulfone. Two different Barbier-type procedures are applied with NaHMDS at −78 °C or Cs2CO3 at 70 °C. The latter conditions are also adapted for the preparation of 1,2-disubstituted olefins and intramolecular olefination reactions.
