Palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck Reactions of 2-Methylene-1,3-dithiane 1-Oxide with Aryl Iodides
Treatment of 2-methylene-1,3-dithiane 1-oxide with aryl iodides under palladium catalysis in the presence of potassium carbonate and tetrabutylammonium bromide leads to the Mizoroki-Heck arylation to yield 2-(arylmethylene)-1,3-dithiane 1-oxides in high yields.
