Notes:
Peroxymonosulfate ion, HSO5-, as Oxone in aqueous H2SO4, oxidizes sulfides [MeSC6H4X(p), X = Me, H, NO2] to sulfoxides and converts aryl thiobenzoates [PhCOSC6H4X(p), X = Me, H] and thiol phosphorus(V) esters [Ph2POSPh, (EtO)2POSPh, Ph2POSEt, Ph(EtO)POSEt] into the acids and sulfonate ions. Second-order rate constants increase with increasing concentration of H2SO4 (10-53 wt%), owing to the high polarity of the medium rather than to acid catalysis. The rate increases fit the Grunwald-Winstein equation based on YOTs solvent parameters derived from rate effects on SN1 solvolyses. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
