Abstract

Dimethyldioxirane efficiently oxidises tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes of sulfenyl substituted arenes to tricarbonylchromium(0) complexes of sulfinyl substituted arenes: ortho substituted complexes are oxidised with high diastereoselectivity and determination of the relative stereochemistry of the oxidation products by inter alia an X-ray crystal structure analysis of tricarbonyl[eta6-1-(tert-butylsulfinyl)-2-methoxybenzene]chromium(0) (2b(x)) revealed that oxidations of methylsulfenyl and tert-butylsulfenyl substituted complexes proceed to give complementary diastereoisomers.
