In Part 1, we would like to introduce a new protocol for the synthesis of vinyl sulfones via palladium-catalyzed sulfonylation of olefins using Pd(PhCN)2Cl2 (10 mol%) as a catalyst and K2CO3 (0.5 equiv) in dioxane. Both vinyl-pyridine and enamides were able to afford the corresponding products in mo...
