Conclusions
-
1.
We have studied the chemical properties ofα-mercurated sulfones by way of example of methylphenylsulfone derivatives.
-
2.
It is shown that the sulfonyl group has a stabilizing effect with respect to electrophilic attack at the mercury-carbon bond and promotes resistance to spontaneous symmetrization of unsymmetric organomercury compounds of the type RHgR′.
-
3.
The infrared spectra indicate the absence of conjugation and coordination of the mercury atom with the sulfonyl group.
