2-Sulfonyl-oxetanes have been prepared, affording non-planar structures with desirable physicochemical properties for fragment based drug discovery. The oxetane motif was formed by an intramolecular C–C bond formation. The fragments were further functionalised via organometallic intermediates at the intact oxetane and aromatic rings.
