Abstract
The photooxidations of gamma-hydroxysulfides which give abnormally hig h yields of sulfones have been investigated. This unusual result is at tributed to the potent trapping ability of a hydrogen bonded sulfoxide intermediate. This suggestion is supported by measuring the ability o f a gamma-hydroxysulfoxide to trap the persulfoxide formed in the phot ooxidation of diethyl sulfide and by careful analysis of the reaction composition as a function of time.
