title: A novel heterocyclic scaffold formed by ring expansion of a cyclic sulfone to sulfonamides.
abstract: A novel heterocyclic scaffold with a peptidomimetic backbone structure has been synthesized. The scaffold is formed by insertion of primary amines into a cyclic sulfone to give the corresponding ring-expanded sulfonamides. By varying the amine component, a series of potentially biologically interesting compounds has been synthesized.
