Rapid and highly chemoselective biomimetic oxidation of organosulfur compounds with tetrabutylammonium peroxymonosulfate in the presence of manganese meso- …
A novel and efficient method is described for the immediate oxidation of different organosulfur compounds using tetrabutylammonium peroxymonosulfate in the presence of manganese meso-tetraphenylporphyrin and imidazole. The method is highly chemoselective and the yields are excellent.
