Abstract

Abstract: An efficient procedure for the preparation of sulfones has been developed through a simple reaction of aromatic sulfonyl chlorides with suitable akyl halides mediated by commercial zinc powder in aqueous media at 0 C - room temperature. ... The sulfonyl group is increasingly attracting attention as a useful hnctionality in ... To whom the correspondence should be addressed ... Recently, there has been considerable interest in performing organic reaction in
