Abstract

Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes methyl phenyl sulfide and benzothiophene in the presence of crown ethers to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones. The oxidation is retarded by amino acids. UV and NMR spectroscopies show that, at the initial stage of oxidation, complexation occurs between crown ether, hydrogen peroxide, and sulfide, as well as between crown ether and amino acid.
