Abstract

The sulfonyl group is a well-established activating moiety introduced in an intermediate molecule for the construction of CC bonds and other transformations. [¹] Recently, the use of sulfones has become a common synthetic methodology in many total syntheses and in the generation of database of functionalized compounds. The ability of the sulfonyl group to stabilize carbanions is one of the best known features of these compounds. [²] They can also act as radical stabilizers [³] ...
