Abstract

Oxidation of an unsymmetrical disulfide, methyl phenyl disulfide, with peroxy acids takes place mainly at more electron-rich sulfur atom to form thiosulfinic S-ester at the first stage, while oxidation of unsymmetrical thiosulfinic S-ester with peroxy acids gives usually four thiosulfonic S-esters, together with sulfinic and sulfonic acids, further oxidation products. Oxidation of S-methyl benzenethiosulfinate 6 affords, as one of the products, S-phenyl ...
