title: Synthesis of cyclic sulfates by halocyclization.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. We report the synthesis of cyclic sulfates by halocyclization. The resulting cyclic sulfate products can be opened selectively with sodium azide to transform them into highly functionalized compounds that contain azide, alcohol, and halide groups.
