Bis(1-benzyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) peroxodisulfate: A mild and efficient oxidant for oxidation of thiols, sulfides and aromatic amines to the corresponding disulfides, sulfoxides and azo compounds

Bis(1-benzyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) peroxodisulfate (BAABCPS) 1, readily prepared as orange solid from commercially available 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and potassium peroxodisulfate converts thiols, sulfoxides and aromatic amines to the corresponding disulfides, sulfoxides and azo compounds respectively.

Solid state oxidation of aromatic sulfides to corresponding phenyl and p-tolyl sulfoxides and sulone using oxone

Phenyl and p-tolyl sulfides 1 can be selectively oxidised to the corresponding sulfoxides 2 or sulfones 3 in solid state condition using oxone. The advantages of this method are the use of cheap and safe reagents, high yield and simple operating conditions.
