46. In addition to the α oxidation of 1a, the DMSO was also oxidized to the corresponding dimethyl sulfone at prolonged reaction times.
47. We were only able to isolate the α-hydroxyketone adducts and not a potential α-hydroperoxide intermediate. Hence, we believe that the α-hydroperoxide intermediate is rapidly converted into the α-hydroxyketone product.
