A terminal [Ni-OH] complex 1, supported by triflamide-functionalized NHC ligands, showed divergent reactivity for the reaction of sulfone with alcohol, contingent on base concentration, temperature, and time. Julia-type olefination of alcohols with sulfones was achieved using one equiv. of base, whereas lowering base loading to 0.5 equiv. afforded α-alkylated sulfones. Besides excellent substrate scope and selectivity, biologically active stilbene derivatives DMU-212, pinosylvin, resveratrol, and piceatannol were synthesized in high yield under Julia-type olefination conditions. An extensive array of controlled experiments and DFT calculations provide valuable insight on the reaction pathway.

Herein, we report an iron-catalyzed, convenient, and expedient strategy for the synthesis of styrene and naphthalene derivatives with the liberation of dihydrogen. The use of a catalyst derived from an earth-abundant metal provides a sustainable strategy to olefins. This method exhibits wide substrate scope (primary and secondary alcohols) functional group tolerance (amino, nitro, halo, alkoxy, thiomethoxy, and S- and N-heterocyclic compounds) that can be scaled up.

Palladium(II)-catalyzed meta-C-H arylation and alkylation of benzylsulfonamide using 2-carbomethoxynorbornene (NBE-CO Me) as a transient mediator are realized by using a newly developed electron-deficient directing group and isoquinoline as a ligand. This protocol features broad substrate scope and excellent functional-group tolerance. The meta-substituted benyzlsulfonamides can be readily transformed into sodium sulfonates, sulfonate esters, and sulfonamides, as well as styrenes by Julia-type olefination.

Article Synopsis
- A novel methylenation reagent called 1-methyl-2-(methylsulfonyl)benzimidazole has been developed.
- It effectively reacts with different aldehydes and ketones using specific bases (NaHMDS or t-BuOK) under mild conditions to produce terminal alkenes in high yields.
- The reaction process is efficient, generating byproducts that can be easily eliminated.

An unprecedented base-promoted direct olefination of aryl alcohols with sulfones via a Julia-type reaction has been described. No extra reductants are needed for Julia reaction since alcohols work as double sources of aldehydes and the hydride. Generally high yields were given for both terminal and highly (E)-selective internal olefins.
