Abstract
Molecules containing a sulfonyl functionality, such as sulfones, sulfonyl chlorides or sulfonamides play an important role in organic chemistry and have found widespread application, especially in the construction of biologically active compounds. Recently, methods for the synthesis of the sulfonyl moiety utilizing sulfur dioxide as a key building block have received considerable attention. In this context, radical-based transformations with sulfur dioxide have emerged as a new and attractive approach for the construction of the sulfonyl functional group. This short review highlights recent advances in the use of sulfur dioxide in radical reactions and covers the historical background, which forms the basis for these current progresses. Limitations of the existing methods and potential further developments will be discussed.
