Electric Literature of C10H12O4SOn March 26, 2022, Li, Xiaotong; Wang, Yu; Yang, Liqun; Zhang, Zhaoguo; Xie, Xiaomin published an article in Tetrahedron. The article was 《Visible-light-promoted aerobic oxidation of sulfides and sulfoxides in ketone solvents》. The article mentions the following:
Simple and readily available ketones have been identified to promote the visible-light-promoted aerobic oxidation of sulfides and sulfoxides to sulfones. A simple and environmental-friendly oxidation protocol of sulfides to sulfones is reported. Various sulfides were efficiently oxidized into sulfones with O2 as sustainable terminate oxidant, readily available thioxanthone as the photocatalyst and 3-pentanone (DEK) as the solvent. The protocol tolerates diverse functional groups, including halogens, ketone, ester, cyano, heterocycle and even cyclopropyl groups. The detection of the aerobic oxidation reaction in DEK by GC and HRMS disclosed that the key active intermediates were generated. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Methyl 2-methyl-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoate(cas: 875895-64-0Electric Literature of C10H12O4S)
Methyl 2-methyl-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoate(cas: 875895-64-0) belongs to esters. They are important in biology, being one of the main classes of lipids and comprising the bulk of animal fats and vegetable oils.Electric Literature of C10H12O4S Polyesters are important plastics, with monomers linked by ester moieties.
