Abstract

The introduction of a Cl atom usually takes place at a position a to the α atom of alkyl sulfones. In this paper, a new ionic chlorination method of alkyl sulfones with sulfuryl chloride in which the most noteworthy observation was exclusive or highly selective β- chlorination of diethyl sulfone or sulfolane (tetrahydrothiophene-1, 1-dioxide) is described. The most successful synthetic application of this method was exemplified by the ...
