45. For details of the selection of the solvents, see the Supporting Information. Only three vinyl sulfones were prepared from vinyl halides under transition-metal-free conditions; they were obtained in 31, 24, and 17 % yield, respectively; see:, B. R. Baker, M. V. Querry, J. Org. Chem. 1950, 15, 417. The reaction presented by Querry et al. was carried out under alkaline conditions, whereas this reaction was carried out in acidic solution.
