- Mass Spectral Studies of Alkylbenzenesulphonic Acids Through Their S-Benzylisothiouronium Salts
-
The mass spectra of alkylbenzenesulphonic acids in the form of their S-benzylisothiouronium salts have been studied.These S-benzylisothiouronium salts dissociated into two parent reactant ions: (i) alkylbenzenesulphonic acid and (ii) S-benzylisothiourea.The characteristic fragmentation patterns of alkylbenzenesulphonic acids (0-5 substituted alkyls) were studied and compared with those of the parent ion peak hydrocarbons.The intensity of the molecular decreased with the increase in the molecular weight of the sulphonic acids.Desulphonation as well as loss of the alkyl group was observed in all the spectra.Migration of the alkyl group from S to 0, followed by degradation, was also observed in all the spectra studied.

- REACTION OF ORGANIC SULFUR COMPOUNDS WITH SUPEROXIDE ANION-III. OXIDATION OF ORGANIC SULFUR COMPOUNDS TO SULFINIC AND SULFONIC ACIDS
-
Organic sulfur compounds such as disulfide, thiolsulfinate, thiolsulfonate, thiol, sodium thiolate, and sodium sulfinate were readily oxidized to both sulfinic and sulfonic acids with superoxide anion generated from potassium superoxide and 18-crown-6-ether under mild conditions.However, both sulfide and sulfoxide did not react with superoxide anion, O2.Although thiol was easily oxidized to disulfide with O2 at room temperature, it was oxidized further with O2 at 60 deg C to the corresponding sulfinic and sulfonic acids.Symmetrical disulfide was obtained in the reaction of unsymmetrical thiolsulfinate or thiolsulfonate along with both sulfinic and sulfonic acids.Most reactive was thiolsulfinate which reacted at lower temperature ranging between -40 and 0 deg C to afford the products within 30 min.Relative reactivities fall in the following order: thiolsulfinate > thiolsulfonate > disulfide sodium thiolate sodium sulfinate.Polar solvents such as pyridine and acetonitrile were more effective than such a less polar solvent as benzene in the oxidation of the substrate, and increased amount of the crown ether shortened the reaction time.Nucleophilic attack of O2 and electron transfer processes are believed to be involved in these oxidations.

- SULFENYL CHLORIDES, XIV; THE REACTION OF ARYLTHIOSULFONATES WITH ARYLSULFENYL HALIDES
-
Utilizing partial results published earlier , the sulfenylation reaction of aromatic thiolsulfonates was investigated.Aromatic thiolsulfonates rapidly react with sulfenyl bromide in acetonitrile solution, whereas with sulfenyl chloride the splitting of the thiolsulfonate bond proceeds only in dimethylformamide and under forceful conditions.
