REACTION OF ALKYL ARYL SULFOXIDE WITH METHYL PHENYL<i>N</i>-CHLOROSULFOXIMIDE. DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE α-CHLORO SULFOXIDE WITH OPTICALLY ACTIVE<i>N</i>-CHLOROSULFOXIMIDE
Treatment of a few alkyl aryl sulfoxides with methyl phenyl N-chlorosulfoximide resulted in the quantitative formation of α-chloro sulfoxides. When the opticallyactive methyl phenyl N-chlorosulfoximide was used, the α-chloro sulfoxides having optical activity on the sulfinyl sulfur were obtained from the corresponding sulfoxides.
