title: Generation and alkylation of 2-boryl allylic sulfone anions.
abstract: The deprotonation and electrophilic trapping of an allylic sulfone substituted at the 2 position by a pinacol boronate results in the formation of the corresponding alkylation products. The ability of the boronate ester to tolerate the sulfonyl carbanion suggests a broader application of the methodology to prepare a wide range of functionalized boronates.
