Selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides/sulfones by 30% hydrogen peroxide

A selective and efficient procedure for the oxidation of various sulfides with sodium tungstate dihydrate with 30% hydrogen peroxide in the presence of trioctylmethylammonium dihydrogen phosphate, respectively, to the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones is reported. The oxidation reaction is carried out at -5 to 0 °C in the presence of hydroxypropyl -β cyclodextrins for sulfoxides or at 50-60 °C for sulfones. The mild reaction conditions, easy workup, and good yields of the products are the major advantages of this method. Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC 2012.
