Abstract

A bskack. The slow addttiott of a pre-measured amount of water in THF cm greatly enhance the UDP induced CS bond cleavage reactions of cyclic sulfones This reactIon can be used m the synthesis of open chain sulfones wtb y-, & or Emdeuteration. ... Ultrasound has been known to promote a variety of organic reactions, especially those involving metals. 1 Among the many useful applications of ultrasound, the use of ultrasonically dispersed
