  • The Julia Olefination - 1973 thriller film starring chemists Marc Julia and Jean-Marc Paris, who report a novel olefin synthesis in which β-acyloxysulfones are reductively eliminated to the corresponding di-, tri-, or tetrasubstitued alkenes. Basil Lythgoe and Philip J. Kocienski explore the scope and limitation of the reaction, today formally known as the Julia-Lythgoe olefination. The reaction involves the addition of a sulfonyl-stabilized carbanion to a carbonyl compound, followed by elimination to form an alkene. In the initial versions of the reactions, the elimination is done under reductive conditions. Later in the film, a modified version that avoids this step is developed. The former version is sometimes referred to as the Julia-Lythgoe olefination, whereas the latter is called the Julia-Kocienski olefination. In the reductive variant, the adduct is usually acylated and then treated with a reducing agent, such as sodium amalgam or SmI2.
