摘要

Abstract We report that Me3S (O)+ I−(1) and Me3S+ I−(2) form stable, dry mixtures with KO t- Bu and NaH, respectively, which remain stable upon prolonged storage (> 1 year). The corresponding methylides (Me2SO= CH2 and Me2S= CH2) are generated upon addition of DMSO or DMSO/THF solutions of carbonyl compounds, cleanly affording epoxides via the Corey–Chaykovsky reaction in good yields and short reaction times (as short as 20 min ...
