%X Diphenylsulphone has been found to be much more resistant to desulphurization than diphenylsulphoxide or diphenylsulphide. The desulphurization of benzo[b]thiophen-3-(carboxylic acid)-1,1-dioxide with Raney cobalt has been found to give benzo[b]thiophen-3-oarboxylic acid, 2-phenylpropionic acid, phenylacetic acid, and a small amount of an unidentified labile acid. The results support the view that the desulphurization of sulphones proceeds via the sulphides.
