Abstract
Oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide with benzoyl peroxide in some dipolar aprotic solvents and superbasic media was studied. The kinetic parameters were correlated with the main physicochemical characteristics of solvents. The oxidation rate grows with increasing donor number and polarizability of the solvent. A two-step scheme of dimethyl sulfoxide oxidation with benzoyl peroxide in superbasic media was suggested, involving preliminary cleavage of the peroxide to perbenzoate with the base. In the reaction, sodium tert-butylate is preferable over sodium hydroxide.
