Abstract

In homogeneous methanol solution containing potassium carbonate, hydrogen peroxide and acetonitrile, the active oxidant in the conversion of p-substituted-phenyl methyl sulfides into the sulfoxides is selective (p = -1.0 at 0 °C) but the oxidation of the related sulfoxides at 0 and 24 °C shows low selectivity, which, taken in conjunction with direct kinetic data, throws new light on the active oxidizing species in these nitrite-mediated reactions.
