โฆ Synopsis
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 equivalents of the diazo compound. Slightly better yields were obtained with trimethylsilyldiazomethane than with ethyl diazoacetate.

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.
Allyi aryl sulfides and diazoacetic acid esters react in the presence of optically active Co(lll)salen complex (4) with good enantioselectivity, to give the [2,31sigmatropic rearrangement products, 2arylthio-3-aryl-4-pentenoic acid esters, via the corresponding S-ylides.
