Abstract

3-Phenyl-2-tert-butyloxaziridine has been shown to behave as an oxidant under 800 MPa at 100° C to oxidize sulfides to sulfoxides, in spite of having been reported to be inactive as an oxidant and to undergo thermal rearrangement to N-tert-butyl-α-phenylnitrone at atmospheric pressure. It has been shown that under
