Abstract

We have generated new heterogeneous catalysts by immobilizing dioxomonoperoxomolybdenum (VI) on amino acid functionalized Merrifield resin, which exhibit excellent activity, stability and selectivity for the oxidation of thioethers and dibenzothiophene (DBT) to the corresponding sulfoxides or sulfones by H2O2 at ambient temperature. The synthetic protocols are high-yielding, halogen-free, environmentally ...
