Abstract

We present for the first time an eco-friendly procedure for the aerobic oxidation of thioethers to sulfoxides using laccase-TEMPO catalyst system. This catalyst system allows for simpler (easy work-up) and greener methodologies (room temperature, phosphate buffer) while keeping high reaction yields and selectivity. This work is superior to others due to free from any transition metal and halide co-catalysts.
