This methodology was used to achieve a three-component Mannich reaction using acetophenone, saccharin and DMSO to furnish a beta-amino ketone. It also provided a metal-free synthesis of thiadiazole and bis(phenyl)methane. Effectively, this method uses DMSO as a safer surrogate to formaldehyde. A mechanism for methylenebisamide formation involving radical intermediates has been proposed based on mechanistic studies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">123</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.289</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
