I had good luck desulfonylating an alpha-sulfonyl ketone using activated Zn dust (wash dilute HCl, EtOH, Et2O, dry) in DMA if MeOH is problematic for solubility or reactivity reasons!

Being EXTREMELY generous here, perhaps they intended this to be an ATRA reaction but forgot two olefinic carbons? Not that their halohydrin would be a good substrate…

Carbon steel can be quite nonstick! Much different surface chemistry than stainless and typically thinner & lighter. There’s good reason it’s a traditional wok material.

If it’s not a big lift, it’d be super rad if your shop could have separate shipping and billing info for sending these as gifts!

Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the six-factor formula showed up somewhere!

Are you trying to avoid the standard seasoned carbon steel?
