Convenient Preparation of Methylthiomethyl p-Tolyl Sulfone Starting from Dimethyl Sulfoxide

An efficient method for preparing methylthiomethyl p-tolyl sulfone was accomplished by the Pummerer reaction of dimethyl sulfoxide with acetic anhydride followed by treatment of the resulting acetoxymethyl methyl sulfide with sodium p-toluenesulfinate in the presence of sodium acetate in acetic acid...
