Oxidation Products of 1,2,3-Trithia[3]ferrocenophane: Structures of the Corresponding Sulfoxide and Sulfone
journal contribution
posted on 2000-10-26, 00:00 authored by Karin Hassenberg, Joachim Pickardt, Ralf SteudelOxidation of 1,2,3-trithia[3]ferrocenophane 1
by 3-chloroperoxobenzoic acid at 25 °C in dichloromethane yields the corresponding sulfoxide 2 and the
sulfone 3 depending on the molar ratio. The oxidation
takes place at one of the terminal sulfur atoms exclusively; the remarkably stable trisulfane-1-oxide 2 can
easily be reduced to the trisulfane 1.
