The oxidative desulfonylation of primary sulfonyl anions with the molybdenum peroxide reagent, MoO5.Py.HMPA, leads directly to β-hydroxysulfones through condensation of the starting α-sulfonyl anion with the aldehyde formed in situ.Symmetrical polyenes such as (Z)-12-dehydrosqualene and (Z)-16-phytoene have been obtained in three steps in > 87percent stereoslectivity from the corresponding β-hydroxysulfones.
