Abstract
DIMETHYL sulphoxide is known as an oxidizing agent for organic halogen derivatives1 and certain aromatic methyl compounds2. Reactions of sulph-oxides with acid anhydrides give carboxylic acids and acyl derivatives of sulphides3. Organic sulphoxides have attracted attention as ligands in co-ordination compounds; but silicon halides and diphenyl sulphoxide give halogenated diphenyl sulphides and silicon oxychlorides and/or silica4. Lappert and Smith5 investigated addition compounds of sulphoxides with boron, silicon, and tin halides, and reaction with boron trichloride or silicon tetrachloride gave a boron oxychloride-chloromethyl methyl sulphide addition compound, or silica and chloro-substituted sulphides.
