Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The facile catalytic oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides has been achieved with VO(acac)2 supported on titania using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant in dichloromethane in quantitative yields at room temperature. The catalyst is reusable and tested for five cycles without significant loss of activity and selectivity.
