Saccharin (1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one-1,1-dioxide) is a very mild, cheap,
commercially available, water soluble, environmentally benign and edible Brønsted acidic
substance. Recently, with other utilities, saccharin and its derivatives were employed as
catalysts for various organic transformations. In this review, catalytic applicability of saccharin
and its derivatives under various reaction conditions is summarized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
