Methanedisulfonyl fluoride, CH<sub>2</sub>(SO<sub>2</sub>F)<sub>2</sub>, transforms aromatic aldehydes into β-arylethenesulfonyl fluorides, useful substrates for the SuFEx "click"-type transformations. The reaction mimics mechanism of the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination, which runs via addition of the carbanion, followed by cyclization-fragmentation of the four-membered ring intermediate. In the absence of base, electron-rich aldehydes follow an alternative pathway of the Knoevenagel condens ...[more]
