Sulfoxidation with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by [SeO 4{WO(O2)2}2]2-

The selenium-containing dinuclear peroxotungstate, [(n-C4H 9)4N]2[SeO4{WO(O2) 2}2] (I), acts as a homogeneous catalyst for the selective oxidation of various kinds of cyclic mono- and disulfides with 30% aqueous H2O2. The cyclic disulfides were selectively oxidized to the corresponding monosulfoxides with one equivalent of H2O 2 with respect to the sulfides. In the presence of two equivalents of H2O2, the oxidation of dibenzothiophene gave the corresponding sulfone in 98% yield under the mild conditions. The negative Hammett ρ value (-0.62) for the competitive oxidation of p-substituted thioanisoles and the low XSO (XSO = (nucleophilic oxidation)/(total oxidation)) value of 0.14 for the I-catalyzed oxidation of thianthrene 5-oxide (SSO) revealed that I is a strong electrophilic oxidant. The reactivities of the di- and tetranuclear peroxotungstates with XO 4n- ligands (X = Se(vi), As(v), P(v), S(vi), and Si(iv)) were strongly dependent on the kinds of hetero atoms. The reaction rates for the sulfoxidation decreased with an increase in the XSO values and a peroxotungstate with a stronger electrophilicity was more active for the sulfoxidation. The kinetic and mechanistic investigations showed that the electrophilic attack of the peroxo oxygen at the sulfur atom is a key step in the sulfoxidation. The computational investigation supported the high chemoselectivitiy for the sulfoxidation of diallyl sulfide.

Polyoxomolybdate-Calix[4]arene Hybrid: A Catalyst for Sulfoxidation Reactions with Hydrogen Peroxide

An easily accessible polyoxomolybdate-calix[4]arene hybrid 1 has been synthesized and applied as a heterogeneous catalyst in the sulfoxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides and to sulfones under strictly stoichiometric amounts of 30% H2O2 in CH3CN as the solvent. This study represents the first promising example of successful employment of calixarenes-polyoxometalate (POM) hybrid materials in the area of catalytic oxidations.

Highly efficient oxidation of sulfides with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by [SeO4{WO(O2)2}2]2-

By using the selenium-containing dinuclear peroxotungstate at 0.005-0.1 mol%, various kinds of sulfides could be converted into the corresponding sulfoxides or sulfones in excellent yields with one or two equivalents of H 2O2 with respect to the sulfide, respectively.
