Popis: Bis-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl sulfones (BTFP sulfones) 1a-e, easily synthesized from 3,5-bis- (trifluoromethyl)benzenethiol, react under PTC with (Z)-1,4-dichloro-2-butene to afford the cyclopentenyl sulfones 3, which suffer further diastereoselective alkene epoxidation with MCPBA giving BTFP sulfonyl cyclopentene oxides 5 and 6 in good yields. These epoxides are convenient precursors of 3,5-disubstituted cyclopent-2-enones, which are given after epoxide ring-opening with different nucleophiles and final successive oxidation-BTFP sulfinate elimination.
