Abstract

The chemistry of di-tert-butyl disulfide polyoxide derivatives has been investigated. Lowtemperature experiments permit the clear detection of uic-disulfoxides (a-disulfoxides). In addition, a proposal for a decomposition mechanism that accounts for the detection of one of the diastereoisomers and the formation of the final products has been advanced. The formation of di-tert-butyl thiosulfonate was also shown to be solvent and concentration ...
