Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00001a061

β-Keto sulfoxides and β-keto sulfones can be used as substrates for Mn(III)- and Cu(II)-based oxidative free-radical cyclizations.The sulfoxide chiral center completely controls the stereochemistry of the cyclization.Oxidative cyclization of racemic sulfo
