ChemInform Abstract: α,β‐Epoxy Sulfoxides as Useful Intermediates in Organic Synthesis. Part 11. Intramolecular Ring Closure of α,β‐Epoxy Sulfoxides with Hydroxyl Group: A Novel Synthesis of 2‐Acyl Cyclic Ethers and 3‐Keto Cyclic Ethers.

Abstract

AbstractThe synthesis of the cyclic acyl ethers (IV) from the ketones (I) and the chloromethyl sulfoxides (II) proceeds via the sulfinyloxiranes (III).
