Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of n-hexyl 1,2-diethylcyclohexyl sulphide (6.5 g., 25 mmoles), glacial acetic acid (50 ml.) and hydrogen peroxide (2.7 ml. of 100 vols.) was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The mixture was poured into an excess of 2N sodium hydroxide and extracted with methylene chloride. The extract was washed with water and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed and the residual oil (6 g.) was eluted with chloroform from a silica column (Merck Kieselgel 7734). n-Hexyl 1,2-diethylcyclohexyl sulphoxide was obtained as a viscous liquid (Found: S= 11.7%. C16H32OS requires S= 11.8%).
