“…175 Aqueous solutions of chlorine dioxide can be used for the chemoselective synthesis of g-oxo sulfoxides in moderate-to-good yield. 176 Active halogen sources such as NCS or N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), 177 N-chloroacetamide (NCA), 178 chloramines, 179 and bromamines 180 are well-known reagents for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides. More recently, 4,4-dibromo-3-methylpyrazol-5-one in acetic acid, 181 TCCA 182 in acetonitrile-dichloromethane-pyridine, and NBS/b-cyclodextrin 183 in water mixture have been reported to selectively oxidize sulfides to sulfoxides in good-to-high yield.…”
