Dimethyldioxirane efficiently oxidises tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes of alkylthio substituted arenes to tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes of alkylsulfinyl substituted arenes.The diastereoselectivity of oxidation of ortho substituted complexes, which was determined by inter alia X-ray crystal structure analyses of tricarbonyl6-1-methoxy-2-(methylsulfinyl)benzene>-chromium(0) 20x, 6-1-(tert-butylsulfinyl)-2-methoxybenzene>tricarbonylchromium(0) 23x and tricarbonyl6-1-(ethylsulfinyl)-2-methoxybenzene)chromium(0) 21y, is dependent on the alkylthio substituent and is reversed when this substituent is changed from methylthio to tert-butylthio.
