Radical‐Mediated Approaches for the Synthesis of Thiolactones

In this review we discuss the diverse synthetic approaches and methodologies which have been utilized for the preparation of small and medium ring thiolactones via radical‐mediated processes. We provide a brief overview of the major current applications and uses of thiolactones in disparate fields of study and outline a selection of representative methods which have been employed for the preparation of compounds containing this structural motif,...
