Abstract

Sulfones have attracted considerable interest in organic syn- thesis as a useful functionality and its utilisation in the synthesis of medicinally important molecules.1 Many procedures can be used for the preparation of sulfones while the most commonly employed methods involve the oxidation of sulfides with peracids or with tetra-n-butylammonium oxone, sulfonylation of aromatic hydrocarbons in the presence of a Lewis acid and treat- ment of alkyl halides with alkali metal salts of ...
