A Protocol To Transform Sulfones into Nitrones and Aldehydes.
Eduardo RodrigoInés AlonsoMaría Belén CidPublished in: Organic letters (2018)
A simple method to transform sulfones into nitrones and therefore into the corresponding carbonyl derivatives has been developed. Some examples demonstrate that it is a new reliable and versatile reaction in the toolbox of sulfones that has great synthetic potential. NMR and computational studies were used to elucidate the mechanism.
