α,β-Epoxy Sulfoxides as Useful Intermediates in Organic Synthesis. II. A Novel Synthesis of α-Sulfenylated Ketones and α-Sulfenylated Aldehydes from α,β-Epoxy Sulfoxides

Abstract
Treatment of α,β-epoxy sulfoxides, prepared from 1-chloroalkyl phenyl sulfoxides and carbonyl compounds, with various kinds of alkane- or arenethiolates afforded α-sulfenylated ketones in good yields. This method also offered a novel procedure for a synthesis of α-sulfenylated aldehydes.
