Synthesis of I(III)/S(VI) reagents and their reactivity in photochemical cycloaddition reactions with unsaturated bonds

Abstract

Novel methodologies for introducing sulfoxonium groups into organic molecules are desirable. Here the authors report the synthesis of an iodonium-sulfoxonium ylide reagent that enables the preparation of sulfoxonium-containing cyclic structures upon reaction with alkenes, alkynes, nitriles or allenes.
