Sulfoxidation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

in chemistry, sulfoxidation refers to two distinct reactions.

In one meaning, sulfoxidation refers to the reaction of alkanes with a mixture of sulfur dioxide and oxygen. This reaction is employed industrially to produce alkyl sulfonic acids, which are used as surfactants. The reaction requires UV-radiation.[1]

The reaction favors secondary positions in accord with its free-radical mechanism. Mixtures are produced. Semiconductor-sensitized variants have been reported.[2]

Sulfoxidation can also refer to the oxidation of a thioether to a sulfoxide.

A typical source of "O" is hydrogen peroxide.[3]
