Hydrogen Peroxide → Phenoxathiin, 10-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

100 g (0.5 mole) of phenoxathiin was dissolved in 1,600 g of acetic acid, after which 48.5 g (0.5 mole) of 35% hydrogen peroxide was added dropwise to the solution. The solution was further stirred for seven days at room temperature. Then, 3,000 g of water was added to the reaction solution to settle out white crystals. The crystals were collected by filtration and dried in vacuum, obtaining the target compound. White crystals, 90 g (yield 83%).
