Trimethylsilyldiazomethane is compared with ethyl diazoacetate for the rhodium, copper, and cobalt catalyzed formation and [2,3] rearrangement of allylsulfonium ylides. At room temperature, the reaction can be carried out using the allyl sulfide as the limiting reagent by slow addition of 3 equivale

โฆ Synopsis
The tandem sulfonium ylide formation-[2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction of chiral non-racemic secondary allylic sulfides, (E)-9 and (Z)-10, is found to proceed with high diastereocontrol. The C-5 stereocenter bearing the sulfide group is essential for high diastereoselectivity in the reaction. Transition state conformers are proposed to explain the high diastereoselectivity in the formation of the diastereomeric products, 18a and 18b. The method is applied to the synthesis of (R)-4-(4chlorophenyl)-2-butyrolactone. Modest enantioselectivity (63% ee) was achieved and this is attributed to partial racemization during the formation of the secondary allylic sulfide 22.
