In recent years, many applications of SO2 and its surrogates in organic synthesis have been reported [1]. Due to high polarity and Lewis acid properties sulfur dioxide can be used as strongly ionizing solvent. Furthermore, it has a high dipole moment (1.61 D), therefore it readily can dissolve both organic and inorganic compounds. On the other hand, SO2 has been reported as a reaction medium for processes involving carbenium ions. This has prompted us to search for organic reactions that would profit from their running in liquid SO2 as a reaction medium.
