Ak. Maiti et P. Bhattacharyya, SIMPLE SYNTHESIS OF BETA-HYDROXYSULFONES USING POLYSORBATE-80 AS PHASE-TRANSFER CATALYST, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 35(1), 1996, pp. 67-68
A very easy and practical method for the preparation of beta-hydroxysu
lfones has been developed by ring opening of oxirane using polysorbate
-80 as phase transfer catalyst.
