Abstract

Aliphatic thiolates were efficiently converted into the corresponding sulfenates by smooth oxidation with trans-(±)-2-tert-butyl-3-phenyloxaziridine at room temperature (five examples). Subsequent electrophilic quench with benzyl bromide led to sulfoxides (S-alkylation) in good to moderate yields. Application of the protocol to an aromatic substrate was also successful. This work represents the first valuable example of the use of this poorly active ...
