Iodomethyl sulphoxides may be synthesized in good yields by the reaction of diazomethane with sulphinyl chlorides in the presence of alkali metal iodides.RECENTLY, there has been considerable interest in the chemistry of a-substituted sulph~xides.l-~ We have now discovered that the addition of sulphinyl chlorides to diazo-compounds, a recently reported preparation of a-chloro-sulphoxides, may be adapted to the preparation of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
