Oxidative chlorination of α-halogenosulphides as a synthetic route to α-halogenosulphoxides, sulphinyl chlorides, and sulphonyl chlorides
Abstract
Chlorine is used to cleave and/or oxidize sulphur compounds as a means of furnishing α-polyhalogeno-sulphoxides, sulphinyl chlorides, or sulphonyl chlorides; a new synthesis of chloromethanesulphonyl chloride is described.
