Process for the production of bromo substituted tetrahydrofuran sulfones

摘要

A process for the manufacture of beta -bromoalkylsulfones and beta -bromoalkenylsulfones by addition reaction of sulfonic acid bromides with olefins or acetylenes in the presence of hydroperoxide and, optionally, of metal salts. Starting materials for further syntheses and for biologically active compounds may be obtained by subsequent dehydrobromination of the addition products.
