Abstract
A new method for the synthesis of thioaldehyde S-oxides by base-induced elimination of chloroform from allylic and benzylic trichloromethyl sulfoxides is described. The reaction proceeds smoothly under mild conditions. A mechanism for this remarkable sulfine synthesis and apparently unprecedented β-elimination of chloroform is presented.
