Abstract
Sodium p-toluenesulfinate reacts with acetyl chloride to form acetic anhydride, p-toluenesulfinyl chloride, thiolsulfonate, and sodium p-toluenesulfonate. A reaction with benzoyl chloride gives benzoic anhydride in a good yield. A mixed anhydride of sulfinic acid and carboxylic acid is postulated as an intermediate, one which survives for a few hours at −60°C. The reaction mechanism is discussed.
