Abstract

Barry M. Trost*and Dennis P. Curran' McElvain Laboratories of Organic Chemistry Department of Chemistry University of Wisconsin 1101 University Avenue Madison, WI 53706 ... Potassium hydrogen persulfate in aqueous methanol was found to be a convenient, inexpensive, and chemoselective reagent for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfones and sulfoxides in the presence of other common functional groups. ... As the use of organosulfur compounds in organic synthesis has ...
