SYNTHESIS OF DIBENZYL SULPHOXIDE


  • Stir 2.35g (0.01l mol) of sodium metaperiodate in 45 ml of a 1:1 mixture of water and methanol held at 0°C. 
  • Add portionwise 2.14g (0.01 mol) of dibenzyl sulphide and continue to stir the mixture at °C for several hours, preferably overnight. 
  • Extract the reaction mixture (which contains precipitated sodium iodate) with three 20 ml portions of chloroform. 
  • Dry the combined chloroform extracts over magnesium sulphate and remove the solvent on a rotary evaporator. 
  • Recrystallise the product from ethanol. The yield of dibenzyl sulphoxide is 2.2g (96%), m.p. 135°C.
