| Abstract: | Alkyl-and aryl-sulfides can be selectively oxidated to their corresponding sulfoxides with excellent yields under mild conditions by [hydroxy (tosyloxy)iodo]benzene. Morever, [hydroxy (((+)-10-camphorosulfonyl)oxy)iodo]benzene as the chiral oxidizer, can be used to oxidate unsymmetric sulfides to sulfoxides with a few %ee to some extent. |
