Abstract

Sulfoxides and sulfones are useful synthetic intermediates for the construction of several important organic molecules (1). Moreover, there are many biologically important compounds containing a sulfoxide or sulfone moiety. Sulfoxides and sulfones are generally prepared via oxidation of the corresponding sulfide; however, it is often very difficult to stop the oxidation at the sulfoxide stage and the undesired overoxidation to sulfones is a quite ...
