Introduction
Sulfur dioxide, obtained by burning sulfur in air, is a useful and suitable solvent and reagent for a large number of reactions. [1] [2] It has a broad liquid range (mp -75 °C and bp -10 °C), a comparably high solvation power for both ionic and covalent compounds, and low nucleophilicity. It is also a Lewis acid that is able to complex unsaturated organic compounds. Recently, this reagent has been used in the synthesis of long chain polyketides, [3] sulfones, sulfinates, sulfonamides, and methanesulfonic acid.
