| Title | An efficient and simple process for preparation of arylsulfones (used as building block for various drugs) |
| Knowhow is available for | A simple, one step process for the synthesis of aryl sulfones which is an important building block in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry |
| Summary | Arylsulfones are widely used as building blocks for various drugs, such as Vioxx and Laropiprant. It has also been shown to exhibit antitumor activities and inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. Considering this interest in arylsulfones, CSIR-NCL has developed simple, one step, transition metal free process for synthesis of arylsulfones. This high yielding process can be conducted at room temperature. |
| Advantages | - This process is transition metal free and works at mild condition - Process requires very simple reagents, no need of activated aryl compound - The process is simple, one step and can conducted at room temperature and results in high yield of final product |
