A mild, selective, and high-yielding method for oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides using IBX and tetraethylammonium bromide in a variety of solvents is described. The method offers the advantage of short reaction times, no over-oxidation to sulfones, and compatibility to a wide range of functional groups.
