ChemInform Abstract
It is found that the reactivity of sulfoxides like (II) in oxidation is less affected by structural effects than that of thioethers such as (I). The reactivity of thioethers depends almost exclusively on the charge of sulfur atom, whereas in the case of sulfoxides interaction between the HOMO of substrate and the LUMO of oxidant is the relevant factor.
