Abstract
Bis(styryl)sulphones on reaction with one or two moles of dimethylsulphonium methylide in the presence of one or two moles of potassium t-butoxide yielded 2-(arylcyclopropyl)styryl sulphones and bis[2-(arylcyclopropyl)]sulphones respectively. The compounds are characterised and confirmed to be trans isomers by IR and PMR spectroscopy and the usual analytical methods.
