Concise synthesis of 6-sulfonylated 3,4-dihydro-2H-thiopyrans and 7-sulfonylated 3,4,5,6-tetrahydrothiepines from lactols

A concise method for the synthesis of the title compounds has been developed, which involves condensation of lactols with methylthiomethyl p-tolyl sulfone, followed by mesylation and further cyclisation of the elimination products by refluxing with excess of sodium iodide in dimethyl formamide (DMF).
