Abstract
This research deals with the oxidation of thioxanthen-9-one with the s uperoxide anion to the sulfoxide and to the sulfone. We were also inte rested in determining whether the thioxanthen-9-one could be oxidized further to carbon dioxide. The experiments revealed that no carbon dio xide was formed from the oxidation of thioxanthen-9-one. However, it w as found that carbon dioxide was formed from the anode reacting with t he superoxide anion.
