Sulphinic acid esters have also been oxidized, to the sulphonic acid ester, with hydrogen peroxide although the reaction usually proceeds in poor yield345,346. This resistance to oxidation is also evident when other oxidants are used233,347. A much improved procedure for the oxidation of aromatic sulphinate esters uses potassium permanganate in aqueous solution, as oxidant345,348,349, as shown in equation 79. Mefa-chloroperbenzoic acid has also been used with success for the oxidative preparation of sulphonate esters. Indeed, it has resulted in the preparation of unstable sulphonate esters that are hard to form by other means350.
