General description
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a polar solvent.[1] DMSO activated by electrophile (oxalyl chloride) has been used to oxidize various alcohols (primary, secondary, allylic, benzylic, hindered and bicyclic). Carbonyl compounds are formed as reaction products.[2] It has been proposed as an alternate solvent for methyl cellosolve for use in ninhydrin reaction, due to its high stability.[3]
Caution
Supercools easily and remelts slowly at room temperature. Solidified product can be re-liquified by warming to room temperature without detriment to the product.
