Abstract
The reaction of (Z)-1,2-bis(phenylsulfonyl)ethylene with tributyltin h ydride gives quantitatively phenylsulfonylethylene and constitutes an alternative and inexpensive preparation of this widely used reagent. T he reaction also occurs with silicon hydrides (Pd catalyst) and sodium borohydride but the former reaction is not as clean as with tin hydri des while the latter gives the over reduced product phenylsulfonyletha ne.
