Silica bromide as a heterogeneous promoter and reagent is prepared from the reaction of silica gel with PBr3as a non-hydroscopic, filterable, cheap, and stable yellowish powder that can be stored for months. The results show that silica bromide is a suitable and efficient promoter for the chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides or sulfones in the presence of 30% H2O2in acetonitrile. The excellent yields, heterogeneous conditions, simplicity, compatibility with a variety of functionalities, and ease of isolation of the products make our procedure a practical alternative.
