Title Selective and Efficient Oxidation of Sulfides to Sulfoxides Using Ammonium Cerium (IV) Nitrate (CAN) in the presence of a catalytic amount of KBr or NaBr
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Sulfides; Sulfoxides; Ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate (CAN); Monoselectivity
Abstract A wide range of aliphatic or aromatic sulfides are selectively oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides using ammoniumcerium(IV) nitrate (CAN) and a catalytic amount of KBr or NaBr in the presence of wet SiO2 in CH2Cl2 under heterogeneous conditions in moderate to high yields.
