“… 7 The incorporation of sulfonyl group into heterocycles by radical cascade cyclization reactions has aroused extensive interest among scientists. 8 In recent years, many sulfone-containing heterocyclic frameworks have been constructed by radical cascade cyclization reactions, such as sulfonylindoles, 9 sulfonylindolins, 10 sulfonylated pyrrolidines, 11 sulfonylated phenanthridines, 12 sulfonylated benzofurans, 13 sulfonated oxazolines, 14 sulfonylated spirocycles 15 and others. 16 In 2021, sulfonylated pyrrolinones were synthesized via sulfonylation/cyclization of 1,5-dienes with sulfonyl chlorides or sodium sulfinates by Wang and co-workers ( Fig.…”
