HAMMETT INVESTIGATION OF IODIDE-ION-INDUCED DEOXYGENATIVE REDUCTION OF 2-ARYL'SULPHONYL-3 ARYLOXAZIRIDINES IN METHANOL-WATER (50percent v/v)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(01)80172-6

The Hammett substituent dependence of the iodide ion induced deoxygenation of 2-aryl'sulphonyl-3-aryloxaziridines, in aqu. methanol suggests that the reaction proceeds by nucleophilic attack on oxygen with concomitant O-N bond breakage.
