Abstract

(E)-α,β-Unsaturated aldehydes were synthesized by the Julia-Kocienski reaction of 2,2-dimethoxyethyl 1-phenyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl (PT) sulfone 3 with various aldehydes, followed by acid hydrolysis. The reaction could be carried out in one pot, and various (E)-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes were obtained in a short time and with high yields.
