description

Abstract β-Disulfoxides can be obtained from different α-sulfunylcarbanions and sulfinates. While α-unsubstituted and monosubstituted β-disulfoxides are configurationally stable in the presence of strong bases, α,α-disubstituted β-disulfoxides epimerize through an intermolecular mechanism.
