Cyclic six-membered ring sulfoxides and sulfones were prepared by a stepwise in situ oxidation of the corresponding sulfides with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid in an NMR tube. The oxidation was followed by NMR spectra and the H-1 and C-13 NMR data were collected. The geometries of all of the compounds were optimized using the DFT B3LYP/6-31G** method and the C-13 and H-1 NMR chemical shifts were calculated for geometry-optimized structures with the DFT B3LYP/6-31++G** method. The calculated C-13 NMR chemical shifts induced by oxidation (Delta delta values) are in very good agreement with the experimental data and can be used to determine the oxidation state of the sulfur atom (-S-, -SO-, -SO2-). The characteristic differences of the induced oxidation chemical shifts of carbon atoms at the alpha- and beta-position to sulfur were successfully used for distinguishing between the diastereoisomeric sulfoxides.
