Abstract
The reactions of singlet oxygen with 17 sulfides bearing either anion or radical stabilizing substituents are reported. The abilities of substituents to modify product compositions in both the oxidative cleavage and sulfide oxidation pathways are analyzed in terms of partitioning of the hydroperoxy sulfonium ylide intermediate. Evidence is presented that suggests that the hydroperoxy sulfonium ylide exists in both diradical and zwitterionic forms. In addition, both inter- and intramolecular pathways for decomposition of α-hydroperoxy sulfides are suggested to rationalize the substituent-dependent formation of oxidative C−S bond cleavage products.Keywords
