ABSTRACT
The complex reactivity of activated thioethers 32-35 and a stepwise generation of peroxidolytic products are the basic principles of their high-stabilizing effect. The peroxidolytic effect by protonic acids 181, 182, or 185 is reduced in the presence of fillers, such as calcium carbonate, that neutralize acids (74). The effect of acids may also be negated by formation of a complex [RSOnH ... OSR2] between acids 181, 182, or 185 and sulfoxides (e.g., 179; n== 1) present in the reaction mixture in excess (75).
