Participants

Reaction Steps

(Tolyl)diphenylsulphonium hexafluorophosphate (1.08 g, 2.57 mol) is dissolved with stirring in methanol (40 ml) with cooling in ice-water. p-Toluenesulphonyl chloride (2.38 g, 12.5 mmol) is added slowly. After 15 mins a solution of hydrogen peroxide (30% in water, 3.5 g, 31 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (1.24 g, 31 mmol) in water (25 ml) is added dropwise over 10 min. After a further one and a half hours the reaction mixture is filtered and evaporated in vacuo. Water is added and the resulting solid is collected and washed with water and ether, to give (tolyl)diphenylsulphoxonium hexafluorophosphate (0.88 g, 79%) identical to authentic material.
