Abstract

The reaction of CO2 with superoxide cooxidized sulfides and olefins to the corresponding sulfoxides and epoxides, respectively, in dimethylformamide. The peroxy intermediates, CO4??? and C2O6???, generated in situ from superoxide and CO2, were proposed as the ultimate oxidants in the oxidations.
