The '€I and -C NMR signals of cyclohexyl phenyl sulphides, sulphoxides and sulphones were almost completely assigned, and the effects of diastereotopism in cis-4-tert-butylcyclohexyl phenyl sulphoxide were rationalized. Substituent effects on the "0 chemical sbift of numerous sulphoxides and sulphones are discussed. An unusual paramagnetic y gauche effect on the "S nucleus was detected in cis-4-tert-butylcyclohexyl phenyl sulphone.
