Title: Sulfoxide and Sulfone Synthesis via Electrochemical Oxidation of Sulfides
Abstract: The oxidation of diaryl sulfides and aryl alkyl sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones under electrochemical conditions is reported. Sulfoxides are selectively obtained in good yield under a constant current of 5 mA for 10 h in DMF, while sulfones are formed as the major product under a constant current of 10 or 20 mA for 10 h in MeOH. The oxygen of both the sulfoxide and sulfone function is derived from water.
