Abstract

The chloromethyl trans‐β‐styryl sulfone carbanion reacts with benzaldehyde and acrylonitrile under phase‐transfer catalysis conditions to give 2‐phenyl‐3‐(trans‐β‐styrylsulfonyl)oxirane and bis(2‐cyanoethyl)chloromethyl trans‐β‐styryl sulfone, respectively, and with nitroarenes to form the products of vicarious nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen.
