Avinyl sulfone is anorganic compound with the formulaO2S(CH=CH2)2. The molecule consisting of twovinyl groups bonded to asulfone. It is the parent of several vinyl sulfones of the typeO2S(CH=CH2)R.[1] Manyvinyl sulfones are known.
Divinyl sulfone is prepared from the diacetate bis(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfide. Oxidation of this diester with hydrogen peroxide gives the sulfone. The sulfone is then pyrolyzed to induce elimination of two equivalents of acetic acid:[5]
