Abstract

Abstract Reduction of twenty-six meta-and para-substituted methyl phenyl sulphones at the dropping mercury electrode and at a mercury pool electrode was investigated and by identification of reduction products was decided which of the two functional groupings attached to the benzene ring is reduced. With most derivatives bearing an electron attracting group as a substituent, the methyl sulphonyl group leaves as methane sulphinate anion. A ...
