Abstract
1, 4-Diazabicyclo(2, 2, 2)octane readily forms an addition complex with two moles of bromine. This complex has been found to be an excellent oxidizing agent for the selective oxidation of various sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides when the reaction is performed in an aqueous medium. The bromine-addition complexes of pyridine and quinoline have also been found to be useful for the same purpose. The reaction has been shown to be a superb way of incorporating 18O into sulfoxides.
