title: Rh(III)-catalyzed synthesis of sultones through C-H activation directed by a sulfonic acid group.
abstract: A new rhodium-catalyzed synthesis of sultones via the oxidative coupling of sulfonic acids with internal alkynes is described. The reaction proceeds via aryl C-H activation assisted by a sulfonic acid group.
