Abstract
A full account of the oxidative dearomatization of para- and ortho-phenolic sulfonamides is provided together with an overview of the chemistry of the products and their elaboration to building blocks for spirocyclic alkaloids. A concise total synthesis of putative lepadiformine complements the discussion.
