First definitive spectroscopic evidence for a stable intermediate in a sulfinyl-transfer reaction: Reaction of dibenzo[1,2]oxathiin-6-oxide with sodium ethoxide in anhydrous ethanol
The UV spectral changes along with the kinetic results for the title reaction suggest that the reaction proceeds through a rapidly formed stable intermediate which decomposes slowly to the product.
