Abstract
A novel modification of the classical Julia - Lythgoe olefination, using sulfoxides instead of sulfones, affords, after in situ benzoylation and SmI2/ HMPA or SmI2/ DMPU-mediated reductive elimination, 1,2-di-, tri- and tetrasubstituted olefins in moderate to good yields and E/Z selectivity. The conditions are mild and the procedure is widely applicable. The reaction mechanism was studied and a general model, describing the reaction selectivity, is proposed.
