Hiperwalentne związki siarki , selenu i telluru. Część 3. Sulfuran Martina , sulfurany 10-S-5 i 12-S-6

In this part of the review one of the most famous 10-S-4 sulfurane called Martin sulfurane together with sulfuranes 10-S-5 and persulfuranes 12-S-6 will be presented. Martin sulfurane has been well known for a relatively long time but it is still useful in organic synthesis as a dehydrating, coupling and oxidizing agent. Its use in selected substitution reactions will be also described. Next, synthesis and selected properties of sulfuranes 10-S-5, mainly sulfurane oxides, and persulfuranes 12-S-6, will be shown. Besides synthetic methods, the review is focused on the investigations of the stability and isomerization of these types of compounds, which is particularly interesting for persulfuranes, because of the presence of three 3c-4e bonds.
