Facile and selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides by t-butyl hydroperoxide in aqueous medium

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919308011174

The oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with TBHP in water only occurs selectively with high yields and permits the sulfoxides to be prepared without using organic solvents. When the reaction is performed in aqueous sulfuric acid with a H₂SO
