A novel and recoverable polymeric ionic liquid, poly(1-vinyl-3-dodecylimidazolium tribromide) (Poly[VDIM]Br3), was successfully prepared and fully characterized. And a highly efficient metal-free catalytic system Poly[VDIM]Br3/tert-butyl nitrite was developed for the oxidation of sulfides. With air as oxidant, we have successfully achieved 19 kinds of sulfides selectively and efficiently oxidized to corresponding sulfoxides using this catalytic system at room temperature.

A highly efficient chemo-selective electrochemical oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides and sulfones was developed. The hydrogen bonding network generated from hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and acetic acid (AcOH) plays an important role in the modulation of oxidation potential. The hydrogen bonding network complexes strongly with the sulfoxide, making it less prone to further oxidation. Therefore, thioethers can be selectively electrochemically oxidized to sulfoxides and over-oxidization could be minimized. Moreover, this modulation of oxidization via hydrogen bonding was supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and cyclic voltammetry experiments.

A practical and environmentally benign electrochemical oxidation of thioethers and thiols in a commercially-available continuous-flow microreactor is presented. Water is used as the source of oxygen to enable the oxidation process. The oxidation reaction utilizes the same reagents in all scenarios and the selectivity is solely governed by the applied potential. The procedure exhibits a broad scope and good functional group compatibility providing access to various sulfoxides (15 examples), sulfones (15 examples) and disulfides (6 examples). The use of continuous flow allows the optimal reaction parameters (e.g. residence time, applied voltage) to be rapidly assessed, to avoid mass- and heat-transfer limitations and to scale the electrochemistry.

Tetrabromoaurate(III) is an efficient catalyst for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides by nitric acid in a biphasic system (nitromethane/water).The system is selective and can be applied to the oxidation of any type of dialkyl and alkyl aryl sulfide and also of diaryl sulfides activated by electron-releasing substituents.The nature of the active species has been investigated in relation to the mechanistic aspects.
