a Sulfonate esters (X= Y= 0; 2= OR') do not react. All Starting material reactions were carried out in benzene solution. recovered. methyl benzenesulfinate (0.04 mol) and trichlorosilane (0.06 mol) in 70 ml of benzene at 20", tri-n-propylamine (0.042 mol) in 50 ml of benzene was added dropwise. After a stirring period of 4 hr, the mixture was hydrolyzed with water (20 ml) and extracted, affording an 85% yield of diphenyl disulfide. Similarly, disulfides were ...
