Abstract

Remarkable efficiency of hydrogen peroxide utilization is reported for oxygenation of four organic sulfides catalyzed by a divacant lacunary silicotungstate,(Bu4N) 4 [γ-SiW10O34 (H2O) 2](), under mild conditions. The addition of imidazole, phosphate, or carboxylates significantly enhances the rate of organic sulfide oxygenation. Most notably, use of and imidazole, both at 1% molar concentration, resulted in the quantitative conversion of ...
