Abstract
Intermolecular radical reactions involving format addition of the sulf onyl and allyl fragments of an allylic sulfone across the double bond of an alkene are described. Reactions are most successful when the all ylic sulfone has an electron withdrawing group at the 2-position. Only monosubstituted alkenes give useful yields of adducts, though both el ectron withdrawing and electron donating substituents are effective. ( C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
