Abstract
Aryl halomethyl sulfones are halogenated organosulfur compounds which continuously draw attention owing to their bioactivity as well as wide applications in organic synthesis. This review summarizes the methods for their preparation, describing the reported routes to fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo derivatives. Their synthetic and biological applications are also highlighted.
Keywords: Sulfones, sulfonyl group, organosulfur compounds, halogen, halomethyl group, halogenation, biocides.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
