The hydrolysis of aryl sulfinyl sulfones can be catalyzed by alkyl sulfides such as n-butyl sulfide (Kice and Guaraldi, 1967, 1966b). The dependence of rate on sulfide structure (for variation of R in R2S, p = —1.6) indicates that the sulfide acts as a nucleophile (Kice and Guaraldi, 1966b). This sulfide-catalyzed hydrolysis also, however, requires acid catalysis, i.e. Rate = its[H+][R2S] [ArS(0)S02Ar]. Presumably the need for acid catalysis arises as follows. In intermediate [38], akin to the situation discussed above for [37], loss of ArS02... 

Bond Dissociation Energy of the Radical Cation Dimers of Diethyl Sulfide, Di-n-propyl Sulfide and Di-n-butyl Sulfide. 

The reduction of sulfoxides by acetyl chloride is a general reaction and yields are generally high. However, the reduction of di-/t-butyl sulfoxide with acetyl chloride gives di-n-butyl sulfide in only 70% yield.

Alkyl sulfides. Di-n-butyl sulfide and dibenzyl sulfide have been oxidized to the sulfoxides by prolonged shaking of a petroleum ether solution with active MnOj. Diallyl sulfoxide was obtained by this method in 13% yield.
