Abstract
Dimethyldioxirane efficiently oxidises tricarbonylchromium(0) complexe s of alkylthio substituted arenes to tricarbonylchromium(o) complexes of alkylsulfinyl substituted arenes. The diastereoselectivity of oxida tion of ortho substituted complexes, which was determined by inter ali a X-ray crystal structure analyses of a6-1-methoxy-2-(methylsulfinyl)b enzene]chromium(0) 20x, lsulfinyl)-2-methoxybenzene]tricarbonylchromiu m(o) 23x and ta6-1-(ethylsulfinyl)-2-methoxybenzene]chromium(o) 21y, i s dependent on the alkylthio substituent and is reversed when this sub stituent is changed from methylthio to tert-butylthio.
