Abstract

Beckmann'was apparently first to point out the marked stability of the sulfone grouping to the action of reducing agents. He observed'that neither aliphatic sulfones, nor ethyl phenyl sulfone wa~ attacked by zinc and mineral acids, zinc dust (distillation), sodium or potassium amalgam, fuming hydroiodic acid or phosphorus pentachloride. Kraft and Vorster2 found that phenyl sulfone did not react with red or yellow phosphorus at 250'or with zinc dust at ...
