In continuation of our previous work dedicated to the detection of the oxid
ation products of aminoethylcysteine ketimine dimer by oxygen reactive spec
ies, we give here data for the identification of the alpha, beta unsaturate
d sulfoxide as the main product of interaction of the dimer with H2O2. Iden
tification has been done on the basis of mass spectrometry and NMR analyses
of the product isolated by preparative chromatography.
