A facile one-pot benzylation of sodium enolates using trifluoromethansulfonic anhydride and diphenyl sulfoxide
A facile one-pot C-benzylation reaction proceeded smoothly and in good yields by treating various sodium enolates and benzyl alcohol with in situ generated alkoxy diphenyl suffonium salt derived from trifluoromethansuffonic anhydride and diphenyl suffoxide.
