Highly selective 30% hydrogen peroxide oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides using micromixing

摘要

The highly selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides using 30% hydrogen peroxide has been achieved under catalyst-free conditions using a T-shaped micromixer.rnSulfoxide compounds are important synthetic intermediates, and a wide range of methods for the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides have been developed for this transformation. For example, aqueous hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, mCPBA, sodium metaperiodate, nitrogen tetraoxide, and halogens and their derivatives have all been used as oxidants.
