Abstract

Oxidation of optically active esters of-(methylthio) benzoic acid with achiral peroxy-acids (perbenzoic and 2, 4, 6-trimethylperbenzoic acids) yields mixtures of the corresponding diastereomeric sulphoxides, enriched in one of the components. Hydrolysis affords optically active-methylsulphinylbenzoic acid. The absol
