Abstract

A combination of Pd(OAc)2 (5 mol %), PPh3 (10 mol %), and Et3B (200 mol %) promotes the formation of allyl phenyl sulfones from the allylic alcohols directly with excellent yields under mild conditions. The activation of an alcohol group is not necessary which is achieved in situ. The conjugated dienols also were equally effective for the said transformation.
