Abstract

Three rhenium(V) oxo phosphine complexes and methyltrioxorhenium have been used as catalysts for oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with urea- hydrogen peroxide as oxidant in acetonitrile; partial enantioselective oxidation of methylphenyl sulfide was observed with methyltrioxorhenium in the presence of a (+)-camphor derived pyrazine carboxylic acid.
