A highly selective catalytic oxidation system has been developed for the conversion of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides using urea–hydrogen peroxide as stoichiometric oxidant in the presence of a catalytic quantity of diphenyl diselenide.

Funding

This investigation has enjoyed the support of Eli Lilly (CASE award to C.E.), Loughborough University, the University of East Anglia, and the ERDF (ISCE-Chem & INTERREG IVa programme 4061). We are indebted to The Royal Society for an Industry Fellowship (to P.C.B.P.), Research Councils UK for a RCUK Fellowship (to B.R.B.), and to the EPSRC Mass Spectrometry Unit, Swansea.
