Description

Benzyl sulfone is a cyclic sulfone. Benzyl sulfone (Dibenzyl sulfone) on pyrolysis at 290?C yields stillbene and toluene. Mechanism of pyrolysis of dibenzyl sulfones at 600-700?C has been reported.Benzyl sulfone forms sodium salt with metallic sodium and with sodium ethoxide. Cryoscopic behavior of benzyl sulfone was investigated.
