Abstract: | Pummerer‐type reaction was carried out with α‐acyl sulfides and phenyliodine(III) bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) instead of α‐acyl sulfoxides in the room temperature ionic liquid 1‐n‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [bmim][PF6] under mild conditions to give the ene adducts 3 in good yields. |
