Abstract

The facile immobilization of hydroperoxide on the cross-linked poly (vinylpyrrolidone) is described by treatment of a poly (vinylpyrrolidone)-Vilsmeier adduct with (35%) hydrogen peroxide. The in situ–generated poly (vinyl pyrrolidone)-supported hydroperoxide reagent showed very good performance in chemoselective oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids as well as sulfides to sulfoxides.
