A series of molecules containing monopropargyl sulfone or 1, 2‐bis‐propargyl sulfone were synthesized. The cytotoxicity of these compounds against human carcinoma cells was also examined. This study indicated that the formation of a biradical intermediate is important to the potency of cytotoxicity.
