Progress in the synthesis of δ-sultones

Christina Gaunersdorfer et al. Monatsh Chem. 2018.

Abstract

Abstract: Sultones, the cyclic esters of hydroxyl sulfonic acids, are a fascinating class of heterocycles and the recent years have witnessed an increasing interest in these molecules, especially in six-ring δ-sultones. The importance of these compounds is either because of their biological properties themselves or due to their versatility as intermediates in more complex target syntheses. Accordingly, the development of new synthesis methods to access δ-sultones is an important and rewarding task which we wish to highlight in this review.

Keywords: Cyclization reactions; Heterocycles; Sulfonates; Transition metal catalysis.
