Abstract:The oxidation of 34 sulfides by benzyltrimethylammonium chlorobromate (BTMACB) resulted in formation of the corresponding sulfoxides. The reaction is first order with respect to both BTMACB and the sulfide. The solvent composition effect indicated that the rate of reaction increases with increase in the polarity of the medium. The reaction failed to induce the polymerization of acrylonitrile. There is no effect of added benzyltrimethylammonium chloride or potassium bromide. Chlorobromate ion is postulated as t… Show more
