Oxidative transformations of diisobornyl disulfide

Abstract

Oxidation of diisobornyl disulfide with m chloroperoxybenzoic acid, lead tetracetate, and chlorine dioxide was studied. Depending on the reaction conditions, the following products with the increasing oxidation number of the sulfur atom were obtained: diisobornyl trisulfide, isobornyl isobornanethiosulfinate, isobornanesulfinyl chloride, isobornanesulfinic, isobornane sulfonic acid and their esters.

Reaction of Styrene with Chlorine Dioxide

“…Chlorine dioxide is used for oxidation of alcohols [6,7], sulfur-containing amino acids [8], and thiols and disulfides [9,10], as well as for the preparation of variously structured sulfoxides [11][12][13] and quinones [14][15][16]. There are examples of using chlorine dioxide for oxidation of unsaturated compounds, giving a complex mixture of chlorination products [17,18].…”
