ChemInform Abstract
The bis(methylthio)benzenes (I) are subjected to oxidation under modified Sharpless conditions. Depending on the ratio of substrate and reagents, either the monosulfoxides (II) or the dl-bis(methylsulfinyl) benzenes (III) are predominantly formed. The latter are obtained as almost optically pure products.
