Phenyltrimethylammonium Tribromide for Selective Oxidation of Sulfides to Sulfoxides. A Convenient Synthesis of Sulfinyl-¹⁸O-Labelled Sulfoxide Carboxylic Acids

Synthesis of 3-(Arylthio)propionic Acids from Nonactivated Aryl Iodides and their Use as Odorless Aryl Mercaptan Surrogates

“…This shelf-stable PTAB reagent has been used for the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides. 42 In conclusion, arylmercaptans and diaryl disulfides were synthesized via 3-(arylmercapto)propionic acid intermediates in good yields. The availability of aryl iodides and reagents used, coupled with easy product isolation, make these synthetic methods attractive.…”

Convenient One-pot Procedure for Converting Aryl Sulfides to Nitroaryl Sulfones

“…A previous paper reported that phenyl trifluoromethyl sulfide (14) reacted with nitric and sulfuric acids to form 4nitro and 2,4-dinitro derivatives with the sulfur atom intact. 12 In our case, treatment of sulfide 14 with excess of mixed acid gave an oily product, in which 2,4-dinitrophenyl trifluoromethyl sulfide and sulfoxide were found to be major components.…”

Green Synthesis of Bromo Organic Molecules and Investigations on Their Antibacterial Properties: An Experimental and Computational Approach

“…8,9 Among the tribromides reported so far, the efficacy and versatility of cetyltrimethylammonium tribromide (CTMATB) has been reported in many important organic transformations. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Its proven mildness as a brominating reagent and versatility towards various organic substrates added to its compatibility with the aqueous media is what prompted us to choose this reagent for the present study.…”
