Reaktionsschritte

5 ml of acetic acid was added to 1.538 g of bis(phenylthio)methane, 0.75 ml of an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (concentration: 30%) was added thereto, and then the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. After 100 ml of methylene chloride, 6 g of potassium carbonate and a small amount of water were thereto, the resultant mixture was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The product was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then the leavings were separated by means of column-chromatography (silica gel, methylene chloride). Thus 1.585 g of phenyl phenylthiomethyl sulfoxide was obtained as a colorless liquid. The yield was 96.6%.
