The structure and properties of β-thiolactones (2-thietanones) are discussed with an emphasis on the differences with β-lactones. Methods for the synthesis of β-thiolactones are reviewed as are the reactions of this relatively little explored class of sulfur-based hetereocycles. Finally, the biology of β-thiolactones is reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
