Abstract

Saturated monohydric primary and secondary alcohols react with sulfur dichloride to give sulfoxylate esters, ROSOR, in 50-70% yield. Optimum temperatures are in the-75 to-95" range with methylene chloride or chloroform as solvent and triethylamine as acid acceptor. Benzyl and allyl alcohols behave abnormally and yield sulfinate esters. Glycols give polymeric materials as the major products, but cyclic sulfoxylates, Le., lJ3, 2-dioxathianes ( ...
